I have to disagree. dpkg can print very complex messages, which most
users certainly will not understand, even if they can read =P

What if the user has sudo configured and wants to use it? Then using
gksu instead of gksudo would be bad, and the hard thing here is
determining which one to use, don't underestimate the issue ;)

Hasn't the possibility of writing patches for the "real package
managers" to implement this feature, instead of packaging a sub-optimal
solution for ${whatever reason you might have, read it here} occurred
you? I don't really think doing something the "Wrong Way (tm)" just
because noone has taken the "Right Way (tm)" is not too good.

If the user had a clue, he wouldn't need debinstaller. I'm sure it would be much more useful to modify $favorite_package_tool to support "apt-get install package.deb".

Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hi, I am searching for a new Co-maintainer for fetchmail since Goswin von Brederlow and Lucas Wall don't have much spare time anymore and the next release of fetchmail doesn't seem to be far away. The new Co-maintainer should be a DD cause I am still in the NM process so I am not able to upload packages. Please mail me if you want to help. The fetchmail package is managed via svn so a bit of knowledge about version control might be good. Regards Nico I request assistance with maintaining the fetchmail package. The package description is: fetchmail is a free, full-featured, robust, and well-documented remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended to be used over on-demand TCP/IP links (such as SLIP or PPP connections). It retrieves mail from remote mail servers and forwards it to your local (client) machine's delivery system, so it can then be read by normal mail user agents such as mutt, elm, pine, (x)emacs/gnus, or mailx. The fetchmailconf package includes an interactive GUI configurator suitable for end-users.

Sure, it might be the "right way", but somewhy i dont see you run to write that patches yourself.The reality is that we have debinstaller which is a nice way to install a single package without that mad typing,
and it produces exactly the same results as you would expect from dpkg. Moreover, I found it to be very time saving andhelpfull, but i understand if Debian is too "elite" to save its users time.And as a reply for Christoph's comment
