Perhaps it'd be a good idea to allow them, but strongly encourage packages not to use them wherever possible. (ie, configure scripts should be made to detect things in the right order, and so forth, and conflicts only stated where the maintainer can't work out how to fix it, and no patches have been provided, and so on) Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> I don't speak for anyone save myself.
