Well, if we're talking about an external tool to strip unnecessary NEEDED entries from the library, you could call it dh_striplibs, include it in debhelper, and have the opt-in system be whether the maintainer chooses to run it or not. That doesn't help the folks who aren't using debhelper as much, though. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
