I don't quite understand what this is about.

What exactly is Karoshi? I guess install scripts that install and
configure services?

How do you ensure that distupgrades still work? Do you touch config
files of other packages? Do you adhere to Debian Policies
(http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/) at all?

"apt-cache search karoshi" did not give me any results. Is there a
package or is there going to be one? If your software makes sense for
Debian/Ubuntu you should be able to get it packaged which would make
installation much easier for your users.


Kind regards
David
