Package: dpkg Version: 1.21.9+b1 Severity: wishlist Hello,
in some (admittedly unusual) scenarios, I'd like to hook
dpkg-buildpackage way earlier then via the "init" hook. More precisely,
I'd like to run a hook *before* debian/changelog and debian/control are
inspected.
Implementing this (I called the hook "preinit") was rather trivial,
would you consider including this in dpkg? That would take the burden of
carrying that patch locally from me. There's one thing worth to mention
in any documentation: The substitutions are not supported there as the
accordingly variables are not defined yet at that time.
Kind regards,
Christoph
