If that's the one that uses aptools it looks _excellent_. Until you try
and use it. It looked as though it would solve many of my packaging
problems, not least deploying on older platforms than the build box,
but simply didn't work on anything more complex than toy code.
I suspect that if you were just using it as a general installer, rather
than any of the portability magic, it might be worth a look.
