I didn't notice it before, just seen it, this series was made about two
weeks ago.
That's one way to do it, but it's a bit hackish.
In my version of the package i download the dpkg tarball (downloads
ain't expensive these days and it isn't some super big tarball either),
configure stripping almost everything and just build/install
start-stop-daemon, everything without any nasting patching.
I didn't send it because i want feedback on naming, for all intents and
purposes it's just a start-stop-daemon package even though it downloads
the dpkg tarball.
Dpkg tools can be built from what i've seen but the build time &
footprint will be far bigger, and i think it will send a wrong
message/expectations.
Regards.
