developping of deb and clean dpkg database
During the development of a new deb package, my dpkg database is going to increase its dirty-level. Packages that are being developped got installed and deinstalled, change names, change sections and so on... The result ? My dpkg database contains info about many packages that does not exists or that does not belong to the right section. Is there a clean way to remove info related to some packages ? Currently my solution is to manually edit /var/lib/dpkg/* files, but I wonder about the existence of some cleaner way to do it.
