I would much rather prefer a substvars-ish approach, similar to what
dpkg-gencontrol does. Making .install executable at all (even if it has a
standard #! interpreter) makes things a lot harder to standardize. Like Josselin
mentioned, bonus points for implementing this in a different language for each
package.
