I agree with you that it is a bit irretating that deselect scans for ALL
pakages ... I can see that it's done for consistency reasons, BUT it would
be great if there was a switch to turn this off.
Symlinks I have had NO problems with. I have a set of deb-packages on
a zipdrive which I mount as vfat on /zipdrv and have a symlink to
/zipdrv/debpack from /usr/local/ ... It works just great!
