Personally I think we should (a) ship update-binfmts format files (b) encourage distros to use update-binfmts to manage format files rather than writing directly to /proc (c) provide a simple "only handles install" script that can read the format files, for people who really want to just blast stuff into /proc I think a single standalone script is pretty useless for most people. thanks -- PMM
