Not really. Untar the orig.tar.gz, remove the file and repack it with a different name (i.e. you need to change the upstream version). Suffixes like .dfsg or .deb are often used for this but there is no rule about that. (for some naming examples see xfree86, mozilla-firefox and openoffice.org) Gruesse, -- Frank Lichtenheld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www: http://www.djpig.de/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
