For now, my latest implementation should not break -X, --fail-missing and --list-missing, the three options out of five that are used regularly. It won't work with --sourcedir and --tmpdir, though, and that's something I can't change, unless debhelper starts to pass down options, or export them via an environment variable. These are corner cases, though, which can be appropriately documented. Neither --sourcedir nor --tmpdir is all that common I think, so the number of cases where one would want to use an executable .install file together with either of the two problematic options would be minimal. -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
