Yeah, but a point is: should we make the snippet in a package and then have a dependencies on this? This is going to be suboptimal since some of those snippets have to be called in preinst and pre-depends are not nice ... Alternatively, we can have a library of snippets shipped by debhelper and a generic debhelper tool to expand snippets in maintainer scripts, but this sounds ugly as well (or not?). Or, we should have a dh_something for each purpose, but that will bloat the dh_namespace. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science ............... now what?
