I disagree. The job of a package maintainer includes the process of doing

This line in sendmail.mc:

Hi Richard --
I've made a couple of NCR-aware kernels for friends. If you'd like
one of them, you might try:
ftp://sgk.phast.umass.edu/pub/boot1440.bin.gz
If you have some special requirement and can't make your own, let me
know and I'll make one for you.
Cheers,

Package: kernel-image
Version: 2.0.7-0
The postinst and prerm scripts of kernel-image have as their first
line:

My vanilla installation of Debian 1.1 seems to have perl only in
/usr/bin/perl.
The problem is exhibited with:

Package: sendmail
Version: 8.7.5-4
sendmail depends on deliver. However, in at least two common
configurations -- null client, and delivery by procmail -- it will run
perfectly without deliver. sendmail should only recommend it.

Hello,
I have a question on that topic. I think sparse files are simply generated
by lseek'ing over a block of zeros, which will automatically converted to
sparse files by filesystems which support it (actually they could even
create them if the notice blocks filled with 0's but dont do it). The

There would be something else inside /etc/emacs or just site-start.d?

Hello,
I'd like to suggest that scripts, debian.rules etc... use gunzip -c instead
of zcat when the intent is to get the contents of a gzipped file on stdout.
This is because if binaries from a BSD compress package (not necessarily
built with compress-package) will make a true zcat available on th
