In many > cases, and I suspect printers and /etc/printcap would be one of them, I'm not sure I agree with your point here, but I can certainly see where you're coming from. Biting off more than we can chew would certainly be a mistake, and making a system that's not backwards compatible would be a bigger one.

Some of those questions are in the magicfilter postinst. Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns <aj@humbug.org.au> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> I don't speak for anyone save myself.
