I stated in my initial post it would only have superficial benefit.... i didnt intend my post to imply i was pushing for change straight away, its just something to think about. Its small benefit is not a techical one, it just more accuratly states current debian practices of using a base name that reflects the upstream project name and an extension that represent different build options. To argue that comparing two sets of strings is harder than comparing one is a dumb argument, hes trying too hard to be critical, without really thinking about what hes saying.... its trival to do both. And i didnt say we shouldnt have a single concatinated field that represents both. Honestly is there any harm in bring up such ideas, if its not a good idea fine, no harm done, ignore it or constructively state whats wrong with it. The alternative is much worse. Glenn
