upgrading to debian 3.2.x packages fails #3624

Hi.

When upgrading to a 3.2.x package, the maintainer scripts fail:

Performing actions...
Retrieving bug reports... Done
Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done
Reading changelogs... Done
apt-listchanges: Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.

Seems /var/lib/dcache/cell-info is not part of the package, nor created in the maintainer scripts. (The former is the better solution)

Do you see any chance, that we get a true Debian source package (which creates the binary, instead of a direct creation of that)?

That way one could use much more things like lintian and debhelper.

Hmmm, not immediately, but I can look into it once we get this systemd stuff fixed.
