My sources: deb http://www.outflux.net/debian unstable/ deb-src http://www.outflux.net/debian unstable/ I've written a man page, corrected paths, and applied a patch from the icculus bugzilla to fix a segfault.

I'm excited about finally getting my feet wet with debian packaging. My big concern is that the original package is distributed as orbital_eunuchs_sniper, the executable in the package is snipe2d, and the CVS tree is named oes. So I kinda took the approach of a 20 character name that was more specific that oes, and made a man page for both oesniper and snipe2d. IMHO package name should be the same as executable name.
