Usually a simple wildcard works: Your estimate is off by several orders of magnitude. Out of approximately 200 libraries converted so far, I'm sure at least 6-10 of them have needed this trick. Usually this is because they need to create symlinks with .links files, so you have to know the exact name, not a wildcard; or because they need to use dh_install to move files to a directory other than where the upstream target installs them, so they need to be able to represent the target directory name. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
