I've been flamed a few times for (ab)using wrap-and-sort in some teams, I do believe it's not justified. Sometimes, it's up to a point one can hardly read the dependency list... What probably would make things a bit better, would be a lintian warning that would compare the source package, and it's result after running "wrap-and-sort -bastk", and then yell if there's a difference, suggesting strongly to use wrap-and-sort. I never wrote a lintian thing, does anyone want to implement it? It should be super easy for anyone comfortable with Lintian, I guess... no? Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
