-used by others; if you want something to maintain a small archive and
-apt-ftparchive (from the apt-utils package) is insufficient, I strongly
-recommend you investigate mini-dinstall, debarchiver or similar.
-However, if you insist on trying to try using dak, please read the

-dak is developed and used on Linux but will probably work under any
