NoMoreMaintainerScripts
Launchpad Entry: no-more-maintainer-scripts
Created: 2008-04-23
Contributors: mvo, dholbach
Packages affected: a lot
Summary
We'd like to have a failsafe alternative to maintainer scripts and reduce the need for them.
Rationale
Lots of maintainer scripts have failed in the past, leaving the system in a state where sometimes the only solution to get it fixed was editing a file in /var/lib/dpkg/info. Also do maintainer scripts often consist of copy and pasted instructions.
