I've asked this question before, but noone seemed to want to answer
me, so I'm asking again:
It would be good for the dpkg manuals to be on the Debian web pages.

I'd like to distribute PostScript

In 19.31 this has changed so that `nil' doesn't have the desired
effect. Instead, you have to supply a negative number !
This is totally inconsistent with almost every other

movemail complains about not being able to write a temp file in
/var/spool/mail.
One fix might be to make it setgid mail, iff the code is written to be
