Re: Split a package, rename an init file

[Bertrand Marc <beberking@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your answers!

So I guess the best way to do this is to split the package and use 
dh_installinit --name=foo

This way I can provide the buggy binary daemon in a seperate package 
(recommended by foo), and keep the name of the conffiles.

Do you think of something else?

Regards,
Bertrand
