[Logcheck-devel] logcheck on SUSE Linux - Debian-specifics

While I agree on the above in principal, it's important to understand
that we are all motivated differently, and most of the folks on this 
list are motivated to work on Debian.

That doesn't mean that there would be resistance to making logcheck more
portable, it just means that someone motivated to do so will need to do
the work, (with the obvious caveat that it doesn't create any
regressions, make things unnecessarily complex, etc).

Contributions are always welcome.
