intetsim review (Re: ITP: inetsim)

Hi lukas,

  For this tool,actually,people would always launch it from console
instead of run it as a service.
  For instance, if you wanna to test the malware sample against
logical fault with time setting (you may need this if it is scheduled
to run at certain time, or unlock the files after one year)
you can use
    --faketime-init-delta <initial time delta>
    --faketime-auto-delay <delay time>
And it is a lot of options you want to use.

Some files are duplicated to launch it in both way.

The easier way is to add the helper script and cd there,
like the init script. This would avoid many problems.

The other way is to patch the files, the upstream adopt this way
and they cp some files in postinst from /usr/share to /var/lib.

I asked another Debian Maintainer from taiwan for help, who have
wrote perl before.
I don't know which way should we choose.
