Hi Erich,
The tarball is there, you will see my modifications are kind of trivial:
http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/people/gvallee/download/netbootmgr/netbootmgr_1.7-2.tar.gz
Please also find in attachment a short description of what i did. Note that
few points still need to be done.
Do you think you can add this file in the netbootmgr sources?
BTW, if you need help to maintain the Debian package for netbootmgr, let me
know, i will be happy to help you.
Thanks,

Modifications for the Creation of a Debian Package
--------------------------------------------------
Two types of modifications have been done: prereqs modifications for the
creation of the Debian package, and building modification for the creation of
the Debian package.
All these modifications are implemented via patches. The first set of packages
is in 'debian/patches' and the second set of patches in 'debian/build_patches'.
Prereqs modifications:
The "upstream" version of netbootmgr does not include a Makefile that allows
one to install netbootmgr (no install target), the installation is orginialy
done via RPM.
Therefore, a patch has been developed to add an install target to the Makefile.
This patch is in 'debian/patches'.
Building modifications:
Another problem is a compatibility issue between the Qt-designer version and
the libqt-perl version. This is not specific to Debian. In order to fix this
problem, two patches have been created: one which update the 'ui' files (in
debian/patches') and another one that updates the generated Perl file (in
debian/build_patches').
Creation of the Debian Package
------------------------------
The command 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us' should work. Note that we
use the options -us -uc which do not sign the source package or the .changes
file, respectively, because we are not Debian developers and we do not have
valid GPG keys.
TODO List
---------
* creation the equivalent of the post and preun RPM scripts
* Lintian still gives some warning: the package includes binaries and man pages
associated to these binaries are not in the package. Note that some of these
binaries may be provided by other Debian packages; we should check that.
