DEBIAN_COMPLIANCE

********************************************************************************************
* 2013: We are trying to make AlternC enter Debian repositories and follow Debian rules :) *
* 2018: Still trying :) *
********************************************************************************************
 
The main issues we know as of today are:  
 
- the static UID/GID of AlternC-panel (uid/gid 1999) need to be dynamic and allocated when needed.
launching :
# grep -l adduser /var/lib/dpkg/info/*postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/*preinst
in a debian server could help finding the right way to do it (eg: bind9 ) ;) 
 
Questions:
 
- some binaries / scripts don't have a man page

  W: alternc: embedded-javascript-library var/alternc/bureau/admin/js/jquery.min.js
 
- W: alternc: virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends depends: mailx
 
- We should NOT ask for "do you REALLY want to install AlternC blabla" since we don't launch alternc.install at postinst anymore.
  This question MAY be asked to the user when launching alternc installer manually (on an interactive shell)
 
 
Easy to fix NOW :
