I think you misunderstand what debhelper scripts do. You can create a debhelper script which automates some common task: for instance, dh_installdocs already installs documentation files in the correct place and installs the symlink. However, you can't as such create a debhelper script which fixes some common bug, not in the sense of fixing the whole archive in one easy step. Doing the FHS transition in a package is already trivial, even in packages that need more than a rebuild with a newer version of debhelper. The social aspects (i.e. persuading people to do it or following the polite steps to NMU their packages) are much harder, and you can't automate them. We're nearly there, though. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
