Hi Ondrej! I'm afraid this is not going to be possible: you need to build- depend on pkg-kde-tools in order to be able to use the scripts. You really don't want to build depend on devscripts for that :) There is some parts of pkg-kde-tools that could probably serve better in dpkg, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533916 And with respect to the naming: the only KDE thing in the scripts are due to the fact that we maintain them. I see no problems in build depending on pkg- kde-tools for that. Kinds regards, Lisandro. -- Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer http://perezmeyer.com.ar/ http://perezmeyer.blogspot.com/
