Hi Jonas, first, thanks for working on the concept of using Debian packages to extensively reconfigure a system for a specific user base. It would be great if we could provide a robust solution for doing this with Debian packages available in our main archive. This said, I do not see how it can happen without a minimum of coordination: otherwise you will end up with a package where the chances of being broken by an uncoordinated upload add up with each of its targets. This minimal coordiation could be based on: - packages providing directories in which other packages can drop configuration files. - packages ready to reconfigure themselves via dpkg triggers. Is your number of targets so large that this level of coordination is not reachable ?
