I think that users who install wine from source, should be able to use equivs themselves. There's absolutely no need to add dirty tricks to the winetricks package - we could pretty much do that for every other package then, to support from-source dependencies. Leave it as is, and whoever wants to use the packaged winetricks with self compiled wine, can use equivs. Create a wiki page on wiki.d.o or so to help them, but I don't think Debian packages should have explicit support for this kind of thing. -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
