As a side effect, using -v wouldn't be required.

Its not a bug to deviate from the developers reference, since it is just a best-practices document. I'd guess that there probably isn't much point fixing this, but it should be fixed in the developers reference if anywhere. > > Standards-Version is only 3 numbers - 1.2.3.X releases are all > > compatible - only minor changes like typos/etc. > > Ok.

Well, in debian there is a tradition of for each config file, there is an equivalent .d directory that can be used by packages other than the one that installs the config file. For example /etc/logrotate.conf and /etc/logrotate.d. I'm just extending this idea to the module-assistant compliant.list so that packages don't have to request to be added to the list before they can be built with m-a. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
