No, I am sorry but it cannot. Adding it to the users' shell configuration is not an option, and changing the global shell configuration is not acceptable either, since it would not be sane to dynamically patch another package's configuration file. When I had to make that decision I checked the policy and took some advice from other Debian contributors; I do not remember exactly the arguments that made me choose not to configure the shell but to document how to do that, but I do remember that I had very good reason to do so. :-) If you need I can check the Debian Policy again, but I do not think I can change that. If you have arguments to the opposite option, or possible solutions, I would be glad to hear them, otherwise this bug report should be closed or perhaps tagged as wontfix. -- ,--. : /` ) Tanguy Ortolo <xmpp:[email protected]> <irc://irc.oftc.net/Elessar> | `-' Debian Maintainer \_
