I'd be happy to do that in theory, but in practice, I'm not sure how you
can do that with a dpkg package. Did you have an approach in mind?

I was trying to come up with a way of doing that, but nothing was coming
to mind that wasn't kind of scary (like having the package build process
determine whether it was being built on an Ubuntu or a Debian system and
building packages with different contents on that basis, which seems like
a bad idea since it will generate multiple *.deb files with the same name
and version but different contents depending on where they're built).
