But wouldn't that be an equivalent of installing anyway?
I thought we need some sort of $debconf to get it in, might be worth asking on -devel once?

Yeah, my hunch was right. I wrongly removed that from depends, I re-added that yesterday.

Could you maybe push your project somewhere for us to test?
Also could you describe a little more on what isn't working as expected for your second project?

I will try to update the package and see. If it's not too much work, I'll push an update.

Yep, I re-pinged the maintainer to get that in :)

We can upload packages on top of new, so we would not have to wait for these to be accepted before upload shiny-server. As soon as we get your bug reports/feedbacks sorted, we can upload.
