Er. Because it's helpful? Being able to do dh_installdirs, dh_installlinks, dh_install (etc) and have the lists in sane files of only that is far easier to manage than listing them all in debian/rules, or even included rules files? At this point, I've punted and gone with m4, though. It's just easier. -- *************************************************************************** Joel Baker System Administrator - lightbearer.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://users.lightbearer.com/lucifer/
