Thanks for the link. I now understand why checkinstall has problems with some packages and requires fstrans to be turned off. It would be really nice if you could get checkinstall patched to include your Auto-DESTDIR model, as that would cover most cases, it seems.

Auto-DESTDIR Posted Aug 23, 2009 12:18 UTC (Sun) by dwheeler (guest, #1216) [Link] I think so, too. I've sent some emails to people who people I thought would be interested in integrating it into their systems. I've started the process of trying to get auto-destdir packaged into Fedora; that doesn't integrate it into checkinstall, but it makes it more accessible to a few. If others would like to package it for other distros, or help patch it into other programs, that'd be great.
On properly packaging perl - Auto-DESTDIR now in Fedora repository Posted Sep 14, 2009 15:28 UTC (Mon) by dwheeler (guest, #1216) [Link] Auto-DESTDIR is now in the standard (yum) repository of Fedora 10, Fedora 11, and the upcoming Fedora 12 (aka rawhide). Barring catastrophe, it'll even be on the Fedora 12 DVDs/CDs. I intend to create EPEL packages, too, so Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS users can easily use them too. I'd love to see packaging for Debian, Ubuntu, SuSE, etc - volunteers welcome! Hopefully this will help package and install programs.
