Yeah, while I am at it I'll ask my web host for free bandwidth :-)

Looks like people will have to build it and wait.

Thanks

Well, to put it like that: there is currently no unstable bindist. 
There is no infrastructure for one, either. So your chance is 0% to 
get into an "official" unstable bindist, obviously.
You can of course make your .deb available from some FTP/http site of 
your choice.

I think this is fine.  Another possibility is to just do something like

  mkdir -p %i/share/doc/%n
  ln -s %p/share/gnucash/doc/COPYING %i/share/doc/%n

i.e., the only thing that really *has* to be in %p/share/doc/%n is the
justification for the license field.

I'll let Max or somebody respond to this one.
