Hi Brian, Perhaps I was unclear in my description. You responded: > You want to replace hp-plugin
On the contrary, I would think the proposed hplip-plugin-installer package would pre-depend on hplip and essentially just run hp-plugin in its postinst. It's complementary, not a replacement. > with something Debian-specific that Debian has to maintain for ever. Debian-specific, perhaps, though hardly beyond ordinary packaging practices. Could be useful for derivatives, too. I would think maintenance for such a simple thing would be minimal (barring major upstream changes - which users would have to figure out for themselves, otherwise). And as I mentioned, there's plenty of precedent for this approach, and the arguments against those are the same. > Patches are welome Cool! Willing to have a go. Where should I start? Best, Brendon
