Package: prelink
Version: 0.0.20050901-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
prelink looks for rpm database changes to control its activation but
this is mostly pointless in Debian. Better follow dpkg database.
Sample patch below, mostly comments, the only important part is 2 instances
of /var/lib/rpm/Packages vs /var/lib/dpkg/status.
