For the next version of a package which I currently have sponsored in
Debian (mozilla-mozgest) I want to add support for mozilla-firebird
(preliminary packages are avalible from
http://people.debian.org/~eric/debian/i386) and mozilla-snapshot. The
problem is that in order to do this I need to do different things for each
of the browsers in postinst and postrm. Basicaly what I'd like to know is
if theres a nicer way to test if a package is installed than just testing
the existance of files that the package would create if it was installed?
dpkg -l packagename should give you plenty of information.
