I'm coming in a tiny bit late to this discussion, but is there any chance that this decision could be reversed? I just downloaded the latest set of snapshot tarballs, and found that the debian/ directories were missing. I do understand why some people don't like having these around if they want to use their control files, but it's a lot easier to delete an unwanted directory than recreate one that's been removed. - olly ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
