It's a very easily spread cost. Indeed, merely making it permissible for maintainers to use libexec when upstream does would be a help. You're not counting that there is a cost to each niggling little idiosyncracy where Debian differs from upstream. Most of the cost of managing upgrades from upstream and the like is re-porting all those little niggling bits. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
