Hi Yadd,

Thanks a lot for working on this. What you are proposing (ie: using a
mime thing, which is easy to parse instead of the dirty command-line
oriented thingy of version 3 and 4) feels much nicer than what we
currently have.

That's much nicer than previous proposal!

IMO, it is needed. That's what is nice with calling scripts: it can take
care with programming of things you didn't even think of. If you remove
it, the risk is that maintainers will continue to use version 3 or 4,
because they still need an update script.

How about:

Update-Script: uupdate

?

Cheers,
