Uh, no, they should *not* do that. Consider what happens when we move to python2.2 (or 2.3 or whatever) and plucker starts only working with python2.3 (apt will dist-upgrade to the new plucker, old scripts will keep referring to python2.1 and plucker, and since plucker only works on 2.2, they'll all break). Either Depend: on "python, plucker" (with versions as appropriate) and use #!/usr/bin/python (or /usr/bin/env python) or Depend: on "pythonX.Y, pluckerX.Y" and use #!/usr/bin/pythonX.Y. The latter is probably not a useful thing to do in general. Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> I don't speak for anyone save myself.
