Instead of hard coding these dependencies in files it would be nice to substitute these things when calling dh_installdeb, dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installdocbase, dh_installmenu, (dh_installdocs ?) in preinst: text #DH_XY# text calling: dh_installdeb -DXY=foo in installed preinst: text foo text Btw: somewhere I read that all wishlist items will be added when hamm is released :) Will they included in debhelper-1.0?
