Those bigger Packages files can be a lot | more flexible, for example we could have a different Package file for | different licenses, different upstream projects (gnome, kde, gnu, X, | etc), different use of machines (server, desktop), etc.
(I know, old mail, but I am catching up) It seems like you want to put the control file outside the deb package and add more information to it. (And have apt-ftparchive not include all the information from the control file into the packages file.) Is this about correct? -- Tollef Fog Heen Unix _IS_ user friendly...
