John,
Have you, or are you going to, addressed the isses listed in the PPL
below for distcc?
Once those minor issues have been addressed, I will try to review the
package for you. I don't want to review it right now only to report the

base-passwd ... !!! no source and no external-source

This is a first attempt. It still needs quite a lot of setup to
use. I'm working on the postinstall which will do more of the work,
but I thought this might be of use to some folk as it stands.

There've been lots of changes (hence the major version
increment). Please remember that this *WILL NOT* update
your current /etc/profile and the skel files *WILL NOT*
