FALSE

using /bin/sh means using ANY POSIX shell.


Oh, BTW your 'de facto standard' reminds me Microsoft HTML - 'de facto
standard' with Microsoft extensions and incompatibilities with HTML.

The same as with AC/AM regeneration, getting rid of internal libs,
recompiling packages (hey, there are binaries available at websites,
isn't it?), keeping of FHS, separating *debuginfo*, *devel*, *static*
lang(), %doc etc etc. Let's put entire KDE4, GNOME and OOo into /opt
(who gives a shit? It Just Works). Let programs keep their configuration
in /usr/local/bin/etc (who gives a shit? It Just Works!).

I suggest discussing it all together with changing template.spec (it's
enough to unpack original binary and put them into %files section) and
changing distro name to PLbuntu (hey, small 'b' letter looks like 'D'!).
