Package: dh-elpa Version: 1.16 Severity: normal Currently we generate two small shell scripts for each dh-elpa using packages. These differ basically in one line (when generated from the same version of dh-elpa). There is a lot of redundancy here, but more importantly the fact that these scripts are generated at build time means that to fix a bug in the scripts, all dh-elpa packages need to be rebuilt.
Since the emacsen-common scripts are (afaik) only used in postinst or prerm (crucially, not in preinst), a regular dependency on some package containing the template scripts would suffice. I'm posting this bug for feeding and design brainstorming, I think the actual implimentation is not too challenging (but I could be wrong, so hence the bug). -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dh-elpa depends on: ii debhelper 12.5.3 ii dh-make-perl 0.106 ii emacs 1:26.1+1-3.3 ii emacs-gtk [emacs] 1:26.1+1-3.3 ii libarray-utils-perl 0.5-1 ii libconfig-tiny-perl 2.24-1 ii libdebian-source-perl 0.106 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.7 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-1 ii libtext-glob-perl 0.10-1 ii perl 5.28.1-6 dh-elpa recommends no packages. dh-elpa suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
