Now how in the world do you pull a depend that needs to be merged AFTER |
| 17 |
the original package? |

i.e. Package ABC and Package XYZ... Package XYZ is a series of config |
| 20 |
files and data for Package ABC. The files of XYZ need to be owned by |
| 21 |
user abc which gets created by Package ABC. Those files also need to be |
| 22 |
installed in /usr/share/abc, which gets created by Package ABC. |
