I agree it is a bad idea to package fpm officially for Debian.
For those interested in creating dirty packages,
here is a dirty set of commands to create a dirty fpm package:
sudo apt install gem2deb apt-file python3-debian ruby-backports ruby-cabin
ruby-childprocess ruby-clamp ruby-ffi ruby-js
Hi Laurent,
I had a look at fpm a while back, but the way it's implemented makes it
a pretty bad idea, in my opinion. It will generate a .deb file by
running tar and ar etc manually, completely bypassing what dpkg does.
While this happens to work and *might* be the right thing to do on
non-Debian
