Well, that's what I thought to do at the beginning, but the docs say that binary package duplication is a bad thing, and I didn't know if four copies of a 13 KB package (so a waste of 49 KB per mirror, which would seem negligible unless you're a purist) was an "acceptable" exception, hence my asking here for advice. Now I have two opposite opinions, which is quite disturbing :) I finished implementing Ondřej Surý's solution but I didn't push the changes to Git yet, let alone upload the package, so it's still time to change my mind. In the end, it all comes down to tiny storage space waste vs a no-op DKMS package. Anyone wants to chime in to tip the scales in favor of one solution over the other ? Regards, -- Raphaël Halimi
