I think we introduced the special case for good reason, so I think we should have a good reason to remove it. When we introduce an interface, we should only break it with cause. I don't personally think the esthetic cleanlyness of removing one symlink from the filesystem and the infrastructure from the source package to create it is worth the cost of breaking people who have come to depend on the interface we created. There is a significant difference between this and cleaning up maintainer scripts. Here we created the interface not just within our own packaging, but also for our users to use. -- Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list Pkg-javascript-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
