Never mind, I just looked it up. Substvars are only allowed for control, .dsc and .changes files. So probably you will have to go through sed if you really need it. Usually, your postinst should compare the old version to one that a particular change was made in and make that change if necessary. Comparing to the current version is bad, since maintainer scripts are supposed to be idempotent anyway. Simon -- GPG Fingerprint: 040E B5F7 84F1 4FBC CEAD ADC6 18A0 CC8D 5706 A4B4
