Hello, A general observation of Unix programs in general - a lot more of them come with RPM spec files, even generates them automatically from a spec.in file, than with debian scripts.
Probably a function of the majority of Linux users / programmers working on RPM-based systems but I am curious about this point: When someone creates a Debian package of a program (s)he is recommended to inform the upstream maintainer as well. Should this not involve the integration of the debian scripts into the program's source as well? Am currently dabbling with packaging GLib/GTK+ 1.3 and finding the debian scripts in GNOME rather out-of-date, if present at all.
