One difficulty I had to create package was to understand all the
informations I had to enter in debian files, be it control, changelog,
copyright and so on...
So, this may be a crazy idea, but, to me, this bunch of file is like a
set of configuration files that are used by dpkg-build.
[ some of you are already saying "uh-oh" ;-) ]
If there are configuration files, they can be modelized. If they can be
modelized, Config::Model can provide a GUI to help people create
packages ...
This way, instead of editing files with different syntaxes, people would
just need to fill the field in the GUI provided by Config::Model (with
on-line help).
(If you go this way, I'll really have to add the 'wizard' part to
Config::Model GUI)
