While I mostly agree with every point, I do have something specific to add:

If you do this (which is a good idea), I'd recommend adding some extra logic when dealing with kernel packages. All packages in the Finnix repositories have proper source packages, with the exception of linux-image-*. I build kernel packages using make-kpkg, so while there are corresponding linux-source-* packages distributed, there is technically no actual source package in Sources. If a source package is found, no extra handling should be needed. But if not, and it's linux-{image,headers,source}-* etc, the lint program should try to make sure there's a corresponding linux-source "binary" package available. Excellent work on herding the cats so far, by the way. RF -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
