Andrew, thanks for the patch! That is a very constructive contribution. However, I would not keep separate files for Ubuntu and Debian. Already having just one file that defines which hacks go in and having the maintainer script generate the necessary packaging files is good enough. The real Ubuntu delta will then be just one-liners for each hack that is moved, which is perfectly OK. There will always be some small "branding" changes between Debian and Ubuntu anyway. The configuration file could alternatively be a table listing the "hack" and which package it goes to.
I won't have the possibility to review this or work on it myself for the next weeks, but I suggest you file a wishlist bug in Debian with your improvements so we can track it there, and keep my co-maintainers in the loop. -- Ship fewer screensavers by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385850 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
