After installing the created package, I do realise that this was a "stupid thing to do" (tm), as dpkg replaced the real package with this metapackage. But well... you live and learn. ;-)
The bug with equivs still stands, regardless. -- equivs can't create a meta-package without a user-provided changelog https://launchpad.net/bugs/85574 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
