It might be very relevant for many of us that our package works on *both* Debian and Ubuntu (and other derivative, including those who derive from Ubuntu, like for example Mint) without too much modifications. Some of my packages already incorporate some upstart script for that reason. I do all of my work in Debian, though whenever possible, I am happy to see that my development fits the (140+, according to distro watch) Debian derivatives. And I don't think I am the only one thinking this way (in fact, I *know* many other DD / DM think this way). So yes, being friendly for our downstream is very relevant to this discussion (even though obviously, that isn't the only point). Thomas P.S: Please note that I'm not taking any side above. Just replying to your point that it isn't relevant, which I think is simply not right. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
