Yes, this is interesting. I have not tried it yet, but will do so.

Hmm, maybe some changes are needed to match specific releases? Version 8
introduced systemd and, as an example, this might require some changes
so that correct kind of startup file is installed. However, as I
mentioned I did not try it yet.

In any case, a package is a good idea because it makes it easy to
install the dependencies too.

One thing I noticed is that the control file has libnet-ssleay-perl
listed twice as a dependency: once without version and second time with
version 1.65 or more recent. A quick look at the packaging docs did not
say anything about this so maybe this needs a check.

Thanks for sharing this! I'll get back to this once I have done some
experimenting with Debian, and probably Ubuntu too.
