The argument against this is that the majority of package currently DO require root (or fakeroot, dh_testroot can't tell the difference). Nor does policy *FORBID* this -- it may not MANDATE it, but it doesn't forbid it, and we don't change policy to make a majority (or even a large number) of packages magically become buggy. -- Chris Waters | Pneumonoultra- osis is too long [EMAIL PROTECTED] | microscopicsilico- to fit into a single or [EMAIL PROTECTED] | volcaniconi- standalone haiku
