I'd go this way, letting each terminal emulator ship a shell (or bash, or perl, or whatever; depends on the language used on the wrapper) script implementing the arguments conversion for its own terminal. Pros: * This reduces the amount of work required by the maintainer of the package providing such a wrapper. * The wrapper script could be shipped in debianutils (Essential: yes) without making it add any kind of strong dependency on x-terminal-emulator. (Pseudo) Cons: * Puts a requirement to ship such a "complementing" script to every package that Provides: x-terminal-emulator. > > Thoughts? > Cheers, Raphael Geissert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
