or even better, replace. It would be easy to have a package to do that, lets
call it "fix-debian" or "debfix" which is maintained, and package authors
can actually send comments to the maintainer. It would be good to have
support in dpkg to actually update this most often, or the package
manintainers simple pre depend on it.
Pre-Depend: debfix (>=1.0.1234)
What do people think? Is this needed, are there many samples?
This would also remove the uglyness with a lot of compatibility hacks from
the package scripts, on the other hand, it would still be ugly.
