Hi John
Most of it follows Jonny's and/or the 0.9.x stuff in the debian
archive. 

The most significant difference is an init script that gets installed
for odccm, but if it's used with odccm 0.10.0 it'll always show a fail
on startup, odccm has started ok but always returns failure, I've fixed
it in svn.
I tried some funky stuff to automatically set up start/stop links, but
upgrades require some careful planning so I disabled that. Oh and of
course my odccm is configured to --enable-legacy.

Since we're on this, I'll throw out some ideas for consideration.

1) Some stuff in svn has out of date debian dirs, I think this should
either be kept up to date or removed entirely, otherwise it confuses the
situation. The deb patches may be better kept somewhere else in svn.

2) There are a few small items in the current deb archive packages that
we could put into svn ie small fixes and man pages. I've done some, eg
with liborange I think, but if anyone else has the time, inclination and
unserstanding to have a quick look this could be useful.

Thoughts ?

Mark
