How does the azureus package work around the fact that only root can write to the package files?
The updated software is stored in ~/.Azureus/.
BTW, if you and the maintainer cannot agree on this you can reassign the bug to tech-ctte, but that is really only an option of last resort. It is better to bring the maintainer around to your point of view.
I'm certainly open to debate.
If it were up to me, I would modify azureus to merely notify that a new upstream version is available, but disable the code that actually performs the update. Then I would make this functionality optional and disabled by default (one more setting in a program that already has 300 is not going to hurt).
Once the user is notified of the new version, then what? If the user then wishes to update Azureus, he or she may as well use the system provided by the upstream author for that purpose.
