I received the following wishlist bug today, and really like the idea.
My thoughts are to change the dependancies to allow ipsvd to be used in place of
ucspi-tcp and ucspi-tcp-src.
I'll need to do some "magic" to get the init.d file to work properly, but I can
just make that a build-time debconf option, or add some "intelligence" into the
build script. I'll probably want to add a build-dependancy on ipsvd or
ucspi-tcp as well to ensure that the intelligence works properly.
Can you think of any other things that I may need to consider? I don't want to
do a complete daemontools packaging, just a "drop-in-replacement" of ucspi-tcp.
Cheers!
Jon

Subject: Bug#293328: qmail-src: use tcpsvd instead of tcpserver
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Package: qmail-src
Version: 1.03-36
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
the tcpsvd program is a free drop-in replacement for tcpserver. It
would be nice to use it (located in the ipsvd package) instead of
having to install and compile ucspi-tcp from the -src package.
Regards,
Bastian
