Attach find script which generates the conrol file for meta-dummy language packsStevo wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 5:42 pm The current way the Debian version does the control file is just to use a separate package entry for every real and dummy package. I think the MX version used a separate language list file and some code to generate the entries for the langpacks from that file...which came from kmathern. But it was pretty easy to copy/paste/search/replace to generate the full list for our dummy packages, anyway. FWIW, it now generates over 300 packages for the build--600 if you count MX 15.
for all debian languages.
I'm not sure from the latest above example control you have shown, "your" meta-dummies will include lightning-language-packs.
If not, we would still have user with thunderbird without the correct lang for lightning.
Here how the first control lines of the generated looks like, which includes ligtning-lang-packs
