Here's something I discovered just today:

	% apt-cache show stow
	Package: stow
	Version: 2.2.0-2
	Installed-Size: 672
	Maintainer: Chuan-kai Lin <cklin at debian.org>
	Architecture: all
	Depends: perl, dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info
	Suggests: doc-base
	Description-en: Organizer for /usr/local software packages
	 GNU Stow is a software installation manager for /usr/local.  Using
	 symbolic links, GNU Stow helps you keep the installations separate
	 (/usr/local/stow/emacs vs. /usr/local/stow/perl, for example) while
	 maintaining the illusion that they are all under /usr/local.
	Description-md5: 952b8725dcbc2ad8368dbc929406052e
	Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/stow/
	Tag: implemented-in::perl, interface::commandline, role::program,
	 scope::utility, suite::gnu, use::organizing
	Section: admin
	Priority: optional
	Filename: pool/main/s/stow/stow_2.2.0-2_all.deb
	Size: 311752
	MD5sum: aaf097fd83270ed737484496013711ff
	SHA1: 45aa26c7240fc89e4e16e9eaa0d04b7670002a7f
	SHA256: d482cef9da0b755de57d138ed752599230341237ecb7f1e5559533dbd15ab619

Pretty cool stuff, so you get to isolate custom-installed software from
each other, and still have them work together!
