Now that #848 is in development, we can do this better. My plan (currently implemented in login-graphical) is to ship a ""metapackage.installed"" file for each package in /var/lib/debathena/metapackages. Then machtype can just look there to see what's installed. The downside is that if debathena-cluster is in a half-installed state or something, this new machtype will report the wrong answer, whereas the current one would report a lower metapackage. If we decide not to implement this ticket, someone should delete trunk/debathena/meta/login-graphical/debian/debathena-login-graphical.installed and trunk/debathena/meta/login-graphical/debian/debathena-login-graphical.install",enhancement,new,normal,Current Semester,--,,,,,
