i'll see about making a more straightforward "foo-simple" package that generates a single binary package... that's something i had been meaning to get around too, as the "single source many binary" package , while efficient, is perhaps not so understandable. in the meantime, you should be able to get going with just this: http://people.debian.org/~seanius/policy/dbconfig-common.html/ch-develguide.html#s-quickndirty if you have specific (or general) suggestions for improvement in documentation, i'd be happy to hear them. sean
