Agreed. Stop dealing with that upstream ("I believe that the design of most Linux distros is fundamentally broken" : how arrogant is that) and let's throw subsurface away as it is....or just fork it to make it distro-friendly. Just leave this guy (these guys) play with they hobby, manually compile each and every software that comes on their machines and live in their own broken world. I very much understand your bitterness, Salvio. You did great work packaging this software and it will be lost. I very very very seldomly became aggressive in dozens of years on free software but that issue is among those that drive me to the Dark Side. Sorry for this. May I suggest you now choose running instead of scuba diving: we have plenty of great running software in Debian and they are very distro-friendly...:-)
