I saw the manpage, but it explains why it does what it does, and not
how; I'll try to come up with some improvements later. I would at least
to document what is the location and format of these files, and how to
declare extra depends for a package.

OK, I pushed one commit fixing this issue to the git repo.
I don't know whether to ask why we don't use set -e for non-trivial
shell code, or to ask why do we use shell at all :)
I'll try to remember and push later in the week a new release. Until
then, all -data providing packages built with this version are broken.
