Package: kernel-headers-2.0.0
Version: 2.0.0-0

This package has maintainer scripts starting
 #!/bin/perl

This should read
 #!/usr/bin/perl

(This bug was encountered during a test installation of 1.1 done by
the three of us.)

Ian.

Hi,

	This should not be considered a bug, unless the guidelines are
 wrong! I'm quoting from the guidelines below, please let me know if
 I'm wrong, or else I'll close this bug tomorrow.

Installation and Removal Scripts
================================

   The scripts `preinst', `postinst', `prerm', and `postrm' are
optional (Bash or Perl) scripts.  As the names would indicate, if these
scripts exist, they will be executed before installing the package,
after installation, before package removal, and after removal,
respectively.

   If these scripts exist they should be left in the `DEBIAN' directory
with execute permission enabled and should contain an appropriate `#!'
line, such as `#!/bin/bash' for a `bash' script or `#!/bin/perl' for a
Perl script (see above).

Package Content
***************

   * In the case of Perl scripts this should be `#!/usr/bin/perl' or
     sometimes `#!/bin/perl', as follows: if the script is a critical
     one that may be called when the `/usr' partition is unmounted or
     broken it should use `/bin/perl'.  Otherwise (especially if the
     script is not specifically targetted at Debian) it should use
     Perl's standard location, `/usr/bin/perl'.
