Hi Alex

One of the first things I tried was appending multiple entries to status. I=
t=20
did not cause any problems with dpkg, and any duplicate entries appeared to=
=20
be quietly ignored. Perhaps the only problem might be with different packag=
e=20
versions..
However, if we could tag packages so that status and info/ scripts are save=
d,=20
that would be a great help.

Regards, Paul.
