Assuming nothing else using the lib*-udeb (I didn't check), I don't think there are compelling reasons for keeping those around. Having everything shipped into a single udeb doesn't seem crazy (if nothing else from other sources is expected toever depend on those features) and if that makes things easier for you, great! Historically, we've had a bunch of udebs built with specific options, be it to reduce size, dependencies/features, and I suppose (again, not going to check) static bits. I'm currently (this week, probably next) to give your updated package a look/try, I'm sorry. > The result would look like this: > > root@mbpah:~/util-linux-2.27# dpkg -c ../fdisk-udeb_2.27-2_amd64.udeb > drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2015-09-08 15:17 ./ > drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2015-09-08 15:17 ./usr/ > drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2015-09-08 15:17 ./usr/sbin/ > -rwxr-xr-x root/root 1385224 2015-09-08 15:17 ./usr/sbin/fdisk > -rwxr-xr-x root/root 1378376 2015-09-08 15:17 ./usr/sbin/sfdisk > root@mbpah:~/util-linux-2.27# dpkg -I ../fdisk-udeb_2.27-2_amd64.udeb > new debian package, version 2.0. > size 972626 bytes: control archive=329 bytes. > 287 bytes, 10 lines control > Package: fdisk-udeb > Source: util-linux > Version: 2.27-2 > Architecture: amd64 > Installer-Menu-Item: 99999 > Maintainer: Debian util-linux Maintainers <ah-util-linux@debian.org> > Installed-Size: 2704 > Section: debian-installer > Priority: extra > Description: Manually partition a hard drive (fdisk) > > root@mbpah:~/util-linux-2.27# dpkg -c ../util-linux-udeb_2.27-2_amd64.udeb > drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2015-09-08 15:17 ./ > drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2015-09-08 15:17 ./sbin/ > -rwxr-xr-x root/root 993064 2015-09-08 15:17 ./sbin/blkid > root@mbpah:~/util-linux-2.27# dpkg -I ../util-linux-udeb_2.27-2_amd64.udeb > new debian package, version 2.0. > size 347790 bytes: control archive=378 bytes. > 407 bytes, 11 lines control > Package: util-linux-udeb > Source: util-linux > Version: 2.27-2 > Architecture: amd64 > Maintainer: Debian util-linux Maintainers <ah-util-linux@debian.org> > Installed-Size: 973 > Section: debian-installer > Priority: optional > Description: stripped down miscellaneous system utilities, for debian-installer > This is a minimal version of util-linux for debian-installer.
