Excellent material. I had some experience with SD-UX, but nothing
with the Linux tools. 

Uh-oh, and while reading the Debian pages, I realized that I forgot 
to add the pre-remove and post-remove scripts to my hypothetical 
depot in the earlier post. And I didn't touch the upgrade issue, 
but I think it is an easy one as multiple Tcl package versions can
peacefully coexist on the same system, and Tcl can pick up the 
latest I guess.
