Dear debian-devel: has anybody tried piuparts, pbuilder offline? You see, often there is some package that I suspect is not diaper-trained, leaving more than just say footprints in /var/log/ upon purge, or perhaps not cleaning back up the "Registry" (debconf), etc.
So I think: well there's this piuparts package that can test those things. But my attempts with piuparts seem to show that it was made for people with good network connections. But then I say to myself: if, totally offline, I can apt-get (or aptitude) install and purge some package X, then why can't I do piuparts tests too offline? Everything I need is there, in /var/lib/apt/lists and /var/cache/apt/archives. (One hopes they could be mounted (read-only!!) during any tests.) Everything except instructions, that even Limited Edition Brain me can follow, see the Cc'd bugs.
