I disagree, the backported package uses debhelper correctly. Especially if you don't use the backported debhelper, too, you just have to rely on that debhelper would do it correctly. Or do you really want debian/rules checking which debhelper you use and add postinst/postrm snippets then after it noticed that dh_desktop in theory should add something (because this is lenny) but doesn't? The debhelper backport simply should have made debhelper working in lenny by reverting the change. For that matter, I have this in debian/rules already: ifeq "$(LENNY_BACKPORT)" "y" dh_desktop -s endif Because dh_desktop is not needed anymore on sarge/sid but on lenny. But lenny-backports' debhelper doesn't do anything here like the version in sarge/sid (whereas lennys version does, and that's what is the expected environment inside lenny) Grüße/Regards, René -- .''`.
