I'll look into that

Good idea.
In fact if we do that, I'd like to require either new releases for the
packages using /etc/rebase/dynpath.d or alternatively that they get an
additional package that drops just this file (if a full release _now_
would be too much work) and the requisite change to setup.hint to have a
dependency added so that this new package gets pulled in.

Achim.
