Trust me I did try the manpages, and the example rules files included in doc/, and some sample source trees. The problem is, with 10,000 or so to choose from, it's difficult to decide which one t go with for unusual packaging. > I didn't understand what you were trying to accomplish with the init > example. In general I have a source tree that produces 7 binary packages. I want one of them to get the --no-scripts option for dh_installinit, but have the rest produce not get this option. So on for some other variants on the same theme. I think Andreas Metzler's reference will take care of it. Thanks. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
