Hello Tom, I find your proposal very interesting. There are at least three basic things to make brlcad deb to accomplish with Debian rules: - change the base directory - split into multiple deb packages - do not include any shared library that is already present on the system I'm curious to knowing the changes you made on deb building process. Anyway, I think that any improve/change applied to deb packages must be applied to rpm too. Their differences are smaller that they seems.
