Should the "debian" directory at the top level be moved to the
"packaging" subdirectory, and the Makefile.am files updated as necessary
so that one can make Debian packages with "make debian-package" or
something such as that, if that's possible?

Should "ethereal.spec.in" be moved to an "rpm" subdirectory of
"packaging, and the Makefile.am files updated as necessary so that one
can make RPMs with "make rpm" or something such as that, if that's
possible?

Are Solaris binary packages just SVR4 packages and, if so, can that
packaging mechanism be used to make packages for any other SVR4-flavored
UNIXes?  If so, the subdirectory might want to be renamed "svr4", and
the Makefile rules changed to say "svr4".
