I thought about this too (was an alternative to depends), but it looked somehow too ugly for me to mess with "other package" maintscripts. But now when I think about it, this seems to be the most correct solution now. > (There may be a cleaner way to do this.) Steve's version looks a bit more correct - after all it is possible to tell dpkg to use alternative file locations.
