Logcheck devel - Mar 2005 - RFA: Need script to pull rules from pkgs

Hello all,

I've got a potentially fun project for anyone who's interested and has
the
time.  In order to use package-specific logcheck rules outside of Debian,
users would have to find the containing package and pull the rules from the
file.  [Because for example we not ship sendmail rules in logcheck-database.]

I'd like to have a script that can perform this on all packages that include
rules that could be used to include those rules in our source package at
release time.

I imagine it would start by reading [0] and grab the .debs, extract and copy,
but I'm open to ideas.  If there is no interest in this, I will probably do
it myself eventually.

Cheers,
-Todd
