It's basically down to whether pkg_setup has to be run with the same |
| 7 |
system state as pkg_preinst / pkg_postinst. If arbitrary changes to the |
| 8 |
live system are permitted between pkg_setup and pkg_preinst then the |
| 9 |
rules I gave are too strict. But I suspect that arbitrary changes will |
| 10 |
cause breakages to quite a few packages, and given that there're fairly |
| 11 |
nice solutions even with the stricter requirements, I'd say that the |
| 12 |
safe rules are better. |
