Aehmm, ok ...

Hmm, never heard. But then, I don't follow all the details.

That is not the question! We are shipping a script dh_installtex which
several people use for building there stuff, and as soon as they switch
to dh >= 6 their packages are broken. 

Ok, this is a bug in dh_installtex, but I would have (in 2007) hoped
that those writing dh_* stuff would get informed, personally (the list).

Anyway, do you have any quick tip how I can check from the perl script
dh_installtex what version is currently in use?

And thanks for the quick reply.

Best wishes

Norbert
