Package: dmaths Version: 3.1-1 Severity: serious Hi,
as this package just entered sid and is a OOo extension I briefl looked over its packaging and wondreed why it didn't register at all. I then saw that you need to run a install-dmaths script. That isn't even told to the user. How should he know that? But that script makes (in it's current way) no sense anyway: 1. It gives you a dialogue box asking you to accept the GPL, which is nonsense in Debian (you already are using dozens of GPL apps). 2. Then you get a dialogue for choosing the apps you want. dia is OK, konqueror and konsole are not, but you can at last change it. For answering this question I suggest using x-www-browser and x-terminal-emulator which get their configured browser over the alternatives system. 3. Then it starts OOo just to display a *french* page for installing a patch for OOo 2.3.1, where sid has 2.4 and 2.3.1 in lenny will be replaced by it when the transitions OOo is in are finished. Your package just could conflict against << 1:2.4.0 and be it. This is not good, Debian is about a integrated packages, not just extensions you need to handle yourself. All other Mozilla/OpenOffice.org/wehatever extension register themselves system-wide for the app. Please (un)register the extension in the maintainer scripts.
