ITYM 7.2. Probably lintian doesn't check Pre-Depends here because it's a bad idea to set Pre-Depends just because of a postinst interpreter (and if the maintainer follows the proper procedures it won't be set at all). > What scripts (config, postinst, postrm) could/should be in what > language? Given tilelite is written in python (and my python is better > than my perl/bash), it would be nice to use that? I don't think the language of the software itself matters here at all. -- WBR, wRAR
