I tried the script on gtkfind, dsl-dpkg and samba - the new unc's appear to work without problems but a couple of issues came to light:

----
Edit - dsl-dpkg is giving ro errors on apt-get update, there may be a problem with this one
----

1. On my setup, rather than creating the working directories and new unc in /home/dsl, the dsl2unc script creates them in /root with the result that the script fails due to lack of memory on larger dsl's - I fixed this by modifying the script to force it to use /home/dsl but I do not know why my system believes home=/root

2. If, as per Robert's comments, we should not mix dsl's and unc's in the same session, then maybe dpkg-restore needs to be changed to use dsl-dpkg.unc rather than dsl-dpkg.dsl?

1. If you are logged in as root, your home is /root
I haven't looked at the script to see how it works, but my thought is that it expects to be run as user dsl. Just guessing.

2. From what robert has said, it looks like this will eventually be the case. At this point, however, assuming everyone uses unionfs would be a bad decision.

Just running dsl2unc on mplayer.dsl and mplayerplug-in.dsl worked like a charm... I'm only using uci and unc since the beginning, and actually I was already using unionfs in DSL before it was integrated with a new boot option (with an uci made from unionfs.dsl). I wouldn't use DSL without, it made a big difference in speed !
