No way, thanks. Ugly to have nother package just for this. That sounds too
much like exim4-config or gcc-X.Y-base..
(For similar reasons I don't do t he "put changelog and
copyright into some commmon package and do symlink on it" approach Ubuntu
regularily asks me to do)
OTOH, I can just add the check to preinst of all packages and just fail the
install on the first one tried to be unpacked.. :-)

Rene
