It looks good.  It looks like appropriate links are implemented as well.


I put some symlinking code into the libc6 postinst because 
/usr/include/paths.h defines _PATH_MAILDIR to /var/mail, and there is 
quite a bit of software about that uses that macro to find where the 
mail spool is.

 We spent a lot of time on this list thrashing out the /var/spool/mail
 vs. /var/mail issue.  It would be a shame if it came to nothing due to
 a lack of seconds.  Please check up this final proposal (included
 below) and second it if you think it appropriate.

Was that a second by you? ;-)
I also second this proposal.

The change would have to be in the bootdiscs first, right?
