You are completely misunderstanding the issue. There can be no such thing as "Debian support for eggs". There can only be some Debian packages of eggified software. And there will be, as some developers will want to make them. The problem is that eggs are broken by design, and we're trying to convince upstream to fix their flaws, not only for our benefit but for that of all distributions. As they don't seem to listen to any of the arguments that were showed, we'll obviously have to use crude hacks to get these applications in Debian. The only remaining question may be which hack is the less ugly. Regards, -- .''`.
