Yup, but I agree with Henrique that mentors would've been the right list, anyway. >> On 08.11.2016 13:39, Alec Leamas wrote: >>> In particular: >>> - How can I handle that kfreebsd should install a different set of >> files? >> >> Never done that, but I guess use dh-exec filtering in the >> debian/*.install files. > > Trying to understand the debhelper, dh-exec and dh-exec-subst > manpages.

How could I do this? The dh-exec-filter manpage should help. I assume you want something like: debian/install: #! /usr/bin/dh-exec [!kfreebsd-any] debian/some-linux-only-file /usr/lib/my-package A code search [1] showed that syslog-ng does this, so that package might be worth looking at.
