[snip] > That's ok, was going to mention this will only work down to > stable+backports and Ubuntu oneiric. I changed to debhelper (>= > 8.1.3~) to support multiarch. Should oldstable be supported? You answer a question with a question :-) When you initially wrote "that's ok" above, did you then mean a) it is ok with me that the packaging be "infected" with CDBS to improve backportability? Or did you instead mean that b) it is ok that the packaging is "infected" with short-form dh even though limiting backportability to stable+backports, oldstable+backports and similar. Packaging can support *both* multiarch *and* backportability to pure oldstable. I do recognize, however, that the use of CDBS is considered controversial by some, hence my asking instead of just doing it. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
