concerning the dpkg patch, which mail i deleted accidently. I have some more changes to the buildsystem which are needed on openbsd, mainly because it is broken and does not support some stuff.
this is for example a configure check for gnu make, ncurses vs curses, problems with __va_copy and additional detection for openbsds binary format (not quite elf) in dpkg-shlibdebs. Furthermore I am surprised that the start-stop daemon compiled for you, since in my version I checked out of cvs I found the #ifdefs messed up for openbsd. does it work for you guys? should we try merging our patches before feeding them to upstream?
