Hi all. I'm a bit undecided what to do here: filestore has a little, non architecture dependent file which is needed at execution (not build) time by gitit, which I'm packaging. I didn't notice it when I made the filestore package, so right now the file doesn't get installed. I'm modifying haskell-filestore in order to install that file in a binary package. The problem is _which_ binary package to use: on the first side, I could add a libghc6-filestore-commons package and put the file in this package; but this would result in a whole binary package to keep 2 KB of data. On the other hand, I could just put it in -dev package; but then gitit would depend on such package (normally it wouldn't, because gitit is compiled statically). Another option is to copy the file at build time in the gitit package and patch gitit to get in /usr/share/gitit-... instead of /usr/share/filestore-...; the drawback is the need of maintain a patch and recompile gitit each time filestore gets updated. I think that the cleaner and preferable option is the first (use a standalone package), but I'd like to hear your opinion about that.
