For the record I am perfectly fine with dropping control.in "in this 
package" or any other package - as long as noone uses it or it annoys 
someone.  If, on the other hand, someone use it and it does not annoy 
anyone - "in this package" or any other package - then it seems odd to 
rip it out.

I am talking about "in this package" - and have been in all of the parts 
quoted above.

I gave an example (not quoted here to try avoid confusion) on how even 
if currently dependency resolving "in this package" is simple, it might 
not be in the future, which I find a valid reason to continue using that 
feature of CDBS "in this package" as well as other ones which you might 
consider so simple that you might want to rip it out from.


Let me repeat: I suggest we only drop the control.in if noone use the 
.in file or it annoys someone. In this package.



Kind regards - and happy new year to all,

  - Jonas
