I entirely support Vincent over it. IMO, keep it sample and let the package
standard be open and understandable. I didn't like RedHat for that: I don't
know what's happen when it installs things. Debmake as a lot of features I
like for creating the base of a package but I will prefer it let me know and
decided about how to do thing. It still a personnal choice to use it or not
but don't make it the standards. Let a new comer to debian easily
understanding what happen without having to learn a bunch of new tools,
or worse, a single tool who does too much!
I build my first local package using only dpkg-deb. scripts are easy to
understand, also is control file. The source package are more
complicated, but running deb-make on it really help me to give me a start
point. That's what make deb-make so popular.
Thanks to listen, all IMSHO,
Fabien
