Or, for slink, we just strip down dpkg (take out package dependancy calculation), put /var/lib/dpkg/info/* and /var/lib/dpkg/status into some managable, scalable format, and use XML for the control files. If we use XML, not only will we be standards based, but with our little (20 line or so?) DTD, we'll have no ambiguities on how instances of our debian control DTD is parsed, normalized, and validated. .....A. P.
