In debian/bumblebee.preinst: it states: If you are a novice, you are recommended to reinstall Ubuntu. Is this allowed by the Debian packaging guidelines? Sharing is good but this is misleading both the product and brand. Derivatives are supposed to sync to the Debian archive and generate a delta. Typically the delta will be distro name changes et cetera. By adding derivative names (in this case Ubuntu) right into its pure package, this will create utter confusion. I'd urge you to package with only Debian in mind and let the derivatives handle it with a small delta. -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf RESEARCHUT - http://www.researchut.com "Necessity is the mother of invention."
