Package: deutex
Version: 4.4.902-12
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

deutex by default writes a copy of stdout/stderr to a file named
"deutex.log" in the current directory. I wonder if you might consider
disabling this, since you generally run it yourself from a terminal or
via a Makefile, and can use shell redirection to capture its output (or,
of course, an explicit "-log" option.)

I think the log output by default is a bit of a DOSism, really, left
over from the program's origins on that platform, since DOS doesn't
have such good shell redirection capabilities and so forth.

The easiest patch is, I think, to log to /dev/null:
