executable config files. bleh, argh
Debhelper config files may be made executable programs that output the
desired configuration. No further changes are planned to the config file
format; those needing powerful syntaxes may now use a programming language
of their choice.
In many bugs I see a tendency of users wanting debhelper configuration
files to have their pet feature from some programming language. So I choose
to short-circuit this process by taking it to its logical conclusion, and
without the bother of developing a new language myself.
[ Is this consistent with my boycott/disinterest in integrating features
features first developed in Ubuntu? Yes. Instead of blocking the
issue of multiarch needing variable expansions, I have stepped
back and let anyone make whatever mess they desire while not forcing
that mess on the rest of us. ]
