Just for the record, I don't call that _user_ space. That's admin area.
On the other hand it's admin area anyway to configure blosxom for
multiple user accounts. Though still dpkg-divert should be rarely used
by a system's administrator, its intention were others.

Not only programmatically (what a word ;)), but also from a sane point
of view. This is going to be addressed. <nitpick>And, it's link them
_from_ where blosxom expects them. :)</nitpick>

That's not a point for a clean solution, I wonder why you bring it
up...

Well, there was, but you don't seem to be hanging out on the list. But
blosxom3 isn't really ready yet, unfortunately.

I can understand why you give up on it, with the current "strange"
setup... It's always easier to leave the fixing to others. *sigh*
So long,
