[Pkg-lirc-maint] Bug#404506: Not closing this bugreport

[Gerhard Brauer]

Hello,

i'm seeing that Anthony closed this bugreport.
I - as the reporter - don't agree.

Using m-a is *solution* to go round the problem.

Short info how i notice the problem with this package:
On mailing list debian-user-german one ask to compile the modules on an
seperate pc, rans in problemes and ask on the list.
I told him to read the Readme's and go the way proposed there with
dpkg-reconfigure or debian/rules binary-modules. He still has problems.
Then i do it on my pc and found the problems reported by my two reports.

So i think we must:
Find a solution doing it right like the Readme's say. And
dpkg-reconfigure <paket> is a "official" debian tool. BTW:
dpkg-reconfigure is the only paket-tool to configure
/etc/lirc/lirc.conf. 

Or we must change the Readme's to force users to use m-a. But how could
one read them when the paket unpacked?

I would prefer a fix like:
Using dpkg-reconfigure to edit the lirc.conf. Then, instead of building
the modules, debconf dialog suggest the user to install m-a und use this
to build the modules for his kernel.
To document this i prefer to put a Readme.Debian in the paket where this
is also documented.

Sid and testing user should use BTS as a additional Doc-Structure, but
since Etch goes further to release this is IMHO not the way.


Greetings
	Gerhard
