No, the file permissions are set in the tar-file from the list

This should probably be /usr/src/debian. Then we could have a nice set of
Makefiles installed to let us do a "make world" style sy
t.
IMHO, a parser for the "Last week's uploads into i386" files regularly
posted to debian-(devel-)changes would be ideal. Then you create another
mailing list to house these announcements only, and make dpkg remove the
old info when the package is upgraded.

-rc package, the debian/rules file does not do
*anything* for build, and for binary, just copies stuff into the right

No. It is needed to build a.out versions of, e.g. svgalib. Some older
binary-only programs only come in a.out format (Doom, for example) :(.

Agreed.
I think a better way than doing runlevels directly in packages, though,
may be to set a package startup script's "type" - minnet, netclient,
