Hi, Perhaps the sequence modules could contain such information? This would allow third-party sequences to take advantage of this optimization as well. > * Speed up dh_gencontrol, er, I mean dpkg-gencontrol, which by itself > is responsible for more than 1/3 of the total runtime of dh binary > in a package where the other debhelper commands are all no-ops. Can you remember what method you used to determine this? I would like to see if this is still the case, before I try look at optimizing it (if only to know when I am done ;) ). ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
