My main interest was that it makes it possible to keep information about parent distributions. This is required if I want to use this information as a basis for dpkg-vendor instead of the dpkg-specific /etc/dpkg/origins files. (That said it seems that Guillem doesn't agree with me on this so this might not happen) Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Get the Debian Administrator's Handbook: → http://debian-handbook.info/get/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
