That's pretty much it. And the name was already so long I didn't want
to add yet more onto the filename.
Just lazy I guess.
BTW - Am really glad someone has picked up the debian thing. I had an
ITP filed for a long time, but I never got around to actually doing the
packaging. But I do look after the Xalan package, and I know the main
person who looks after Xerces, so if there are any dependency problems
give me a hoy.
