Come on!!! Go back and re-read your statement... What's packaging all about?
About changing the binary installation layout of some package to fit
particular dist's requiremets or some standard of other sorts. And where do
you imagine you get all those spiffy packages in Debian from? It's from
hundreds of people EDITING EVERYTHING so that you can just type dpkg -i
package.deb and enjoy the way it works...
