Yeah, that's a good idea. I'm happy to change Policy to not require --package when that's available (although given how these things work, I suspect that would need to wait until a version of dpkg with that change was released in stable, unless packages started adding versioned dependencies). -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
