So, you're subscribed to a whole bunch of lists, and you store the messages yourself? Ideally, mbox files would be publically available from www.debian.org, but I can't find them if that's the case.

Its a Debian native package? I guess that makes sense. This would be an ideal candidate for the "data" section proposed in wishlist bug #38902 [0], apparently rejected by the ftpmasters. The advantage that I see to this is that there is no "source package" vs. .deb. The .deb *is* the source package, just with a control file and a copyright file and whatever, and compressed and relocated as necessary to /usr/share/. > But I'm wondering, that the package itself has _all.deb at the end > but the changelog has _i386.changes (but I think this is because it > is build on a x86 architecture) - or I missed something?! If it has _all, then its arch-indep, which is correct. Donno why the .dsc has _i386, but I think that's okay, since its _all.
