I need to add binary control files to a package (actually a jar file, that I use in my maintainer scripts).

Can you please consider to merge something like this?

Best regards

Michael

Hey Michael, thanks for the contribution. Can you elaborate a bit on this? Frankly speaking I am not even sure what "binary control files" are. Is this just to ship the jar so you can call it from your maintainer scripts?

Yes, it want to ship a jar file that I can access from my maintainer script. Because I'm sick of writing shell scripts - I want to have one generic maintainer shell script that just dispatches into Java.

The only way (I found ...) to do this is to append the jar file to the postrm script.
