Question about arch-independent packages and dependencies



Hello,

I will submit in a few days two packages, one containing a tool to filter
and print PS files according to PPD files, another one containing PPD
files to be used with Ghostscript.

My problem is that the package with only PPD files is architecture-indep.
Is there a special Architecture keyword covering this case or can I safely
ignore the dpkg warning when building the package?

Another question is: is it possible to ask (or recommend) that after a
package is installed/configured, one of my script is run? The case here
is that my PPD package does not depend on gs (the PPD files may be useful
even without a local gs) but if gs is installed I can arrange them to
reflect the gs config (paper size, for example); I can do that in my postinst,
but what if gs is installed *after*?

Thanks for any help,
Yves.

P.S.: I think the two packages will belong to section 'text'. I am right?
