Some time ago (ok, a lot of time ago), lots of things were changed in the
filesystem (I can particulary recall the gradual phasing-out and elimination of

There's nothing worse than having gibberish in ten different charsets in the

To avoid confusing mixes of distributions (like installing a Debian .deb in
Corel or a Corel .deb on Debian), I think we should add a 'Distro: debian'
control field to all packages and make Corel use 'Distro: corel'.

supposed to be used like server printers (guys from the other side of the
