From 90a249dc93ccabd398b64092121b07e5af2d8c2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Pfaff Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 10:08:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] INSTALL.Linux: Don't discourage building Debian packages. For a while the Debian packages were not well maintained or regularly used, but we at Nicira use them all the time now. We now aim to have them accepted into Debian downstream, so we should at least not discourage users from trying them out.
