Why do you need to make it a separate source package?

No, no, ignore my last email.

I 'get it' now.  It for some reason escaped my notice that the ITP needed only 
to be raised against the source package, and not the multiple binary packages 
it would spawn.

D'oh.

Sorry, I'll close this spurious ITP.

Yes, how I cursed that one, once I realised it had got out.

I sent three ITPs, and one made it out wrong. I knew some one would spot it, 
nonetheless ;)

 Why do you need to make it a separate source package?

Ah. So that's what I did wrong, maybe.

The two packages build from the same source.  Does that mean a single ITP is 
necessary?  I have not raised ITPs before, so was not sure exactly.

One question this raises in my mind:

suppose I have a single source tar.gz, that I want to build into four debian 
binary packages, with different names (obviously).  If this should require 
only one ITP, which package name should the ITP be made for?

That's it.  With a few rare exceptions (that don't apply here), we file
exactly one ITP per source.

 One question this raises in my mind:

 binary packages, with different names (obviously).  If this should require 
 only one ITP, which package name should the ITP be made for?

Debian source packages also have a name.  We normaly use that for the ITP.
For simple 1:1 packages the source name is usualy the same as the binary name,
but that's absolutely not a requisite.

For example, the xfree86 source package provides a gazillon of binary
packages but there's no xfree86 binary package as such (And soon won't be
any xfree86 at all anyway ;).
