There were a nice post by a debian developer Manoj Srivastava on this
issue.  He explained "afio" is the only right way.

I copied it to my web page:

  http://qref.sourceforge.net/quick2/ch-tips.en.html#s-ss-cp

  If link is broken, start from
  http://qref.sourceforge.net/quick2/

I may be moving these documents to Debian site (DDP) soon.
