In fact, I think that findlib is a very good and useful tool
and that installing debian packages without using findlib means
loosing the possibility of writing easy Makefile.
In fact, findlib provides two distinct functionalities w.r.t. debian
packages:
1) it gives back informations on packages installed using findlib
2) it allows to install packages
While the second one could be subsumed by the debian package, the
first one can't. So, my proposal is why not making a debian package
of findlib and then use findlib in debian packages instead of
install? [Weaker proposal: same as before, but the install of
debian is used and then, as a post-script, findlib is notified
of the installation]
