Well, I only see a few options here: - you change your setup - you provide a patch - you provide funds to implement this I am a little concerned...

Well, so far most people have been quite happy with jdeb as is :) I guess it's just that the multi package requirement isn't that common.

@Eymux no worries - all good :)

Hey, @crea-doo could you please give some context for these changes? They are quite big. How is `spk` package format related to the `deb` format? How is it different? Also...

Hmmm. While I can see the overlap I am more inclined to say: let's revamp the API so you use `jdeb` as a dependency and create an `spk` plugin yourself....

The `Builder` and `Producer`s and so on are there. You could just use `jdeb` as a dependency today. But we will need to see what needs to change in order...

Flexible variable substitution is on the roadmap. (see https://github.com/tcurdt/jdeb/issues/195 )

Usually I would create a tgz with the right permissions - and they would be preserved.
