Should work, as Raphael just pointed out, but I agree that this should be added to the test suite. I'll try to look into this soon. > - how is integration with APT going to happen? It's not related.

In our project where we use that we use a <projectname>-config package which just "applies" those changes in the postinst with some "find | xargs rm" style commands. Also, in my originally submitted patch files would also disappear once you upgrade or reinstall the package. Unfortunately this seems to be broken in the actually commited version (see my earlier comment; the tests currently fails on this). > - in the same vein, is there a way to track which packages are missing > files as to allow reinstalling them when the filters get updated? > For instance, if I'm stripping all man pages but later decide I want > them, I would remove the filter and reinstall all the relevant > packages, how would list the stripped packages? I guess you could compare the .list contents with actually installed files. Otherwise this would require install --reinstall'ing every package which is certainly possible, but takes a lot of effort.
