Hi,

I'm working on installing the MT modules in the global perl path, as per
Debian policy, rather than a private copy - apart from the fact that
it's almost never appropriate to do 'use lib' style things in a packaged
application, I would like to make it possible to deploy more than one
instance of movabletype on a server with a minimum of duplication.

It would be useful to document some packaging principles on
http://wiki.movabletype.org/Packaging_Project

I'll try and go through your comments in more detail, and add more of my
own, in due course (but currently I'm squeezing this project in with
lots of other things :)

Cheers,

Dominic.
