Please describe how they are being "punished". If I choose not to use a tool (and there are many legitimate reasons not to use debhelper or debstd), then I can hardly complain that I don't get the benefits of using that tool. I certainly can't call myself punished. (On the other hand, don't bother. A few more minutes thought convinces me my mind is closed on this topic; I can't think of any argument that justifies the term "punished".) Steve "who is against symlinks in packages, anyway" G.
