Hmm, this would make it even easier. No need to change the *inst
files, dpkg could log its actions like "installing foo ... finished",
"installing bar ... problem, leaving unconfigured" independent from
the *inst scripts.
Dpkg could redirect stdout/stderr to deb-log, and this program would
handle the output the way the user wants it to do.
Although we would only have two different message types: Infos
(STDOUT) and Warnings (STDERR).
The advantage is, that the *inst scripts don't have to be changed and
that the packages thous don't have to predepend on a dpkg/deb-log
version.
Appealing.
Ciao,
Martin
