Historically the package used a debian/control.in file. That made other Debian developers nervous, thinking that if they didn't understand that, they were unable to help out with other unrelated aspects of package maintenance - despite my adding a note in debian/README.source explicitly stating the opppsite. So I consider that a failed experiment. But I am open to suggestions on how this could be done more elegantly - just please let's discuss it *before* you mess around structurally with the package :-) (I do *not* consider current packaging style ideal - for starters, I want to migrate away from using CDBS, but it is a complex package so I want to do it cautiously - and am not really in a hurry about that...) - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
