I forgot, if you need help on doing the transition or anything, just
say so.
For now a couple of comments:
- Does it really make sense to make a directory under /etc/ to
put a single file in it?
If so, you will have to move dhid's configuration file
from /etc/dhid.conf to /etc/dhis-client/dhid.conf on the
postinst or tell the user to do so via debconf.
- My dhid package includes genkeys as 'dhis_genkeys' which I
think is usefull for users.
I even wrote a manpage for it.
- On README.Debian I explain where to go to get a service
provider, how to generate the QRC keys and how to upgrade from
older versions. Most is extracted from the README, but it is
adapted to the way the package is done and I think that a
little bit clearer.
- My dhid package warns the user about old configuration files
via debconf.
Well, after a closer look, I would recommend taking my dhid package as
base and work from there.
take care
