Sorry had forgotten about this one. Not sure which part do you find unsafe? The grep was just an example, I'd probably use a regex similar to the one I used on codesearch.debian.net, so something like: m/(?:select-editor|sensible-(?:pager|editor|browser))/ or something along these lines. The one that I could see triggering false-positives is select-editor. I think any reference to sensible-foo should be pretty much relevant. But we'll not know until this is run by lintian. :) Thanks, Guillem
