Hey Nilesh and Jeremy.

Thanks for taking care of this.


@Jeremy, sorry for having overseen your earlier message.

The approach with foo.install would obviously also work well.

But I'm not a big fan of dh-sequence-* ... IMO it feels conceptually
subotimal to use dependency fields to actually configure DH. It's a bit
different with dh-compat-level, cause that really does cause
dependencies on the right dehelper.


Thanks anyway :-)
Chris.
