    Maybe you´d like to volunteer to maintain the Wireshark Debian
    assets? Since you've got the experience and actually use it?
    
    There are loads of lintian warnings waiting to be fixed, or there
    were until recently. Maybe you'd like to start there, and be more
    active staying on top of the all-important symbol lists. Just a
    thought.

Hi,

I found it useful to be able to do Debian packages easily to provide internal installation packages and even ppa for Ubuntu. 

So I have been using the Debian build system.

Best regards 

Anders

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
