Thanks, Dominik!

I'd be glad to help in whatever way I can - in particular, I'd like to 
debianize a "standard" source distro for opensg-1.6 and opensg-1.8. 
Would you be willing to send me the various control/rules/etc files in 
the debian/ dir used for the packaging system? I can use those to create 
a regular deb for the two versions, and having your files as a starting 
point would save me a LOT of time.
