Well, anything is possible, but I'd like to have it a little easier. :)  I'd 
have to write crazy code to distribute the global static and the global 
generated variables into each of the <package>.substvars files.  It seemed at 
the time that making a change to dpkg-gencontrol that it can read several 
files would be much simpler.  Is it such a big problem to process more than 
one -T option?

This is concerning the egroupware package.
