You mean actually modify the source for /usr/bin/install itself so we have a new install that's Debian specific, I'd be really nervous about that. But if you mean either writing a substitute program that could be used when building packages, no problem. In fact I'd probably just write a wrapper (perl) script that looks at the args, handles the mode and owner flags itself (as mentioned earlier), and then calls the normal install for the rest of the job (stripping, copying, etc). Should be pretty easy. -- Rob
