Just a quick question - is there an easy way to do this? I worry sometimes that I might be creating a binary name that is already used somewhere, and thus a potential clash, but it is not obvious to me how to check. Strictly this applies to every file in a package, although clashes are most likely in /usr/bin Wookey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
