Which languages are allowed in your eyes and is a functional programming language among them? It's intended to be used by developers on their developing machines. It has not the same goal as the lsb_release package, which is often used as build dependency or dependency. E.g. distro-release-info can be used in your pbuilder config file. Other tools, which come to my mind, are dch or lintian. -- Benjamin Drung Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Maintainer (www.debian.org)
