Hi, I think that we should be aiming towards descriptive domain-specific languages rather than imperative catch-all ones wherever possible. In the old days before debhelper, the rules file would explicitly move files around, and I think .install files are a huge step forward. I'd also like to see a tool to generate preinst/postrm fragments for diversions.
There is a reason why I held a lightning talk comparing dpkg to Microsoft Installer at DC9. :) Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
