I have a question regarding the absence of a libdb4 package for Debian GNU/Hurd. There are several packages that rely directly or indirectly on the existence of libdb4. I downloaded the source, and it compiled cleanly. I am not experienced in Debian package maintenance, and was wondering if there was an outstanding reason as to why this software hasn't yet been packaged for the Hurd. I plan on taking a crack at figuring out how to do so, but couldn't figure out why such cleanly compiling software causing so many outstanding dependencies hasn't been packaged yet. I'm not trying to raise anyone's ire, just trying to find out if there was a good reason not to attempt this. The list archives don't mention anything, so I'm appealing to the wisdom of the bazaar.
Advice? Thanks, Steve
