Ok, also my thought, maybe we can do as the kernel packages and other do, and have a control.in, which in turn generates a debian/control with the right debian/control target in debian/rules. You would build this one before uploading, and then it will do the right thing down the way. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
