Really important work there... nothing gets me out of bed like suppressing someone else's future potential needs using crappy tools and methodologies.

This isn't a criticism of Debian. Use the Debian system if you like it, don't use it if you don't.

It is a criticism of Debian in Wireshark, and of the Debian maintainer syncing changes upstream. A real trailblazing moment that was.

As mentioned on the ticket - just putting it here as well - I am against dropping packaging/debian. But I am for having it underneath packaging, and not in the main directory, which is what the original change was about. I respect Joao's opinion as well as yours Balint. In this case here I think, we can provide assistance for future implementors and as a starting point, by keeping the directory underneath packaging/debian. 

just my thoughts

Hi All,

João shared his opinion about the project's commitment to maintain the
packaging/debian/ in the project's repository:

https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/commit/79da670bd1b4f91eebee5c96b19eaf1f33c94777#note_1656501952

I believe the current practice is reasonable and beneficial enough for
many parties to warrant the work, but I could be wrong.

Probably the most important question is if there is anyone relying on
the packaging scripts there. If you are, please speak up otherwise the
directory may be dropped.

Comments are welcome.

Cheers,
Balint
