Your clarifications in the packaging sections reminded me of the following issue which I have in mind since quite some time:
I prefer the here-doc structure for Depends and BuildDepends in fink packages, where each dependency (with possible alternatives) is on a separate line. For example
Depends: <<
x11,
giflib-shlibs | libungif-shlibs
<<
IMO this is much more readable than an endless line and it eases to track changes in cvs considerably. You see immediately which dependencies have changed.
How about recommending the use of here-doc structures for Depends and BuildDepends in the packaging manual?
Cheers,
Remi
