maybe the pkg could be factored better ??

I'm very sorry, Justin _ but I really have no time for this now ..
Do you realise this means :
1) first resurrecting the old ming pkg you threw away, rebuild and  
reinstall it,
and using that, build on my system all its deps (after finding them  
by grepping
through the unstable tree) _ that is what users have on their system  
_, and next
for each one in turn test whether its full functionality is still there.
2) Then, re-switch to your new ming, and for each of those pkgs in turn,
check whether they build correctly with it, and have their full  
functionality..
3) And repeating this endlessly since failures will lead to further  
revisions from you ...

You chose to violate standard policy completely _ both as to shlibs,  
and as to
minimal courtesy vis-a-vis of ming's existing maintainer _, why  
should I bear
the consequences ?
This is your job now _ sorry !

Best,

Jean-Francois
