Even better, given the tiny size and the general functionality provided by su-to-root, could it moved to debianutils? Then it would be essential and no dependencies would be required. If we're going to standardize on it throughout the distribution (which I believe is the right thing to do), it makes sense to me to put it there. > This would have the benefit of making su-to-root OR depend, instead of > just suggest, on the several packages which provide a su* wrapper > ensuring its functionality. I don't think this is necessary. su-to-root falls back to su if none of the other packages exist, and su is essential. Similarly, under X, it falls back to x-terminal-emulator if none of the other packages exist, and any X environment should have x-terminal-emulator. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
