Hm, that would make the package not syncable to Ubuntu and other derivatives. I wonder if it would be better to conditionalize on dpkg-vendor (DEB_VENDOR, /usr/share/dpkg/vendor.mk) instead. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
