Why does this concern you? I thought debhelper was fairly standard use today. But, yes, like all of debhelper it's just a convenience wrapper. If your package is very simple then in the postinst add if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then make-ssl-cert2 package fi and in postinst if [ "$1" = "purge" ]; then make-ssl-cert2 -r package || true fi The dh_ script merely does this for you after adding any extra arguments to make-ssl-cert that you have requested with your debian/package.certificate file. So, if you are merely concerned that it is /possible/ to do it without a dh_ call, then it certainly is. But I think it is a good idea to use it, as if the "policy" changes in this respect then a rebuild is all that may be required. And also it gives the maintainer more chance that any problems can simply be reassigned to someone else. James Westby [P.S.
