Yes. Also, do packages currently include provision for a description of
the maintainer's choices regarding compile time options, config file
settings, and so on? I have tried doing it a few times, and there are
certainly lots of details to getting a program compiled. If there is not
a standard information repository acesable through a standard package, I
think there should be.
