Is there any way to determine the distribution source of an installed module ?
Suppose I wanted to maintain a system through dpkg , where is it reasonable to store files that are not part of the current standard distribution; but are: 1. a properly defined .deb package, 2. a properly defined .rpm package, or 3. a primary module i.e.. xyz.tar.gz What are the consequences with respect to 'Packages' , 'available', 'available-old', 'status', 'status-old'? What side effects should I be on the look out for? I am reading the programmer and policy documentation; but do not feel comfortable with my lack of understanding of side effects.
