I release a deb whenever a program changes. I have personally packaged:
blackbox
bbkeys
bbpager
bbpal
ready to use. Seeing how the toolbar can be made to hide, I fail to see the
need to hack it out. Seeing how all of the other utilities are packaged and
functional, I see no need to hack them into bb.
The only complaints I ever received about blackbox and friends were:
bb fails when you set the locale to <that made up language some people like>
bbkeys depended on QT
I removed the QT app from bbkeys. The other is actually an X problem.
