Sounds to me like a job for a 'dh_diversions' script, and 'debian/packagename.diversions' files in the source package. Or maybe a 'dh_alternatives' that handles both alternatives and diversions, since they are similar concepts and alternatives are a great deal more common. Presumably slave alternatives would be handled by indenting the slave line just under its master. Peter
