It would be pointless. We are never going to have 100% of upstream tarballs generated by the Debian version of autoconf and so we are always going to need a mechanism in debhelper/dpkg-buildpackage or similar to do the same thing for tarballs generated on systems running other distros. If we have such a mechanism, we don't need the autoconf-internal mechanism. In addition tarballs generated on Debian systems would then be looking in Debian specific paths on non-Debian systems. Having two sets of behaviour out in the wild doesn't sound useful to me. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
