1. Bashism
----------

     The Debian Packaging Manual says: 
 12.2.4.1 If your package doesn't provide a shared library

   Put a call to dpkg-shlibs into your debian/rules file. If your package
   contains only binaries (e.g. no scripts) use:

dpkg-shlibdeps debian/tmp/usr/{bin,sbin}/*
        

     The last line could be changed to: 
          dpkg-shlibdeps debian/tmp/usr/bin/* debian/tmp/usr/sbin/*
                
     to eliminate the bashism 


1.1. Deadline for tabling the discussion
----------------------------------------

     I decided to use a minimal period for discussion of one week, seeing
     that the discussion has already been held on this issue for a length
     of time. This means that the discussion on this proposal ends on
     November 7th, 1998. 


1.2. People Seconding the Proposal
