Hi all,

I'm currently rearranging the mflib package a little.  Actually it is Nils 
his package, but I would like to add a few things to it which might be
usefull (tell you about that later, or not because it isn't user visible).

I was wondering why the mflib postinst script creates directories:

install -d -g root -o root -m 755 /var/spool/texmf/fonts/source
install -d -g root -o root -m 755 /var/spool/texmf/fonts/tfm
install -d -g root -o root -m 755 /var/spool/texmf/fonts/pk
chmod a+w,o+t /var/spool/texmf/fonts/source
chmod a+w,o+t /var/spool/texmf/fonts/tfm
chmod a+w,o+t /var/spool/texmf/fonts/pk

cd /usr/doc; ln -sf ../lib/texmf/doc texmf

Isn't it better to include these in the directory structure of the package?

Or why doesn't it call install right away with the correct mode settings, 
i.e., with `-m 1777' ?
