Hi bmhm,

I think it is a great idea to package gnome-globalmenu for ubuntu, thank you a 
lot for your work on it. 
But I've had a look on the ppa-packages and I had to recognize that they are 
unfortunately not "real" debian-packages, that means they do not obey FHS and 
gconf-schema is not installed properly, empty -dev and -doc packages are 
created etc. Furthermore gnome-globalmenu is not a native debian package, that 
means you'll need to create an orig.tar.gz and an diff.gz package. (at least 
these things are true for the intrepid package for 0.7.4 which unfortunatly is 
not the upstream tarball,too.) Please do not understand me wrong, I do not want 
to criticize your work but make suggestions to improve it. 

If you don't have the time to fix it, please contact me. I've been
playing around with the package recently (I've actually packaged it for
myself on jaunty, but not uploaded to my ppa to not interfer with your
efforts), so this shouldn't be a problem (at least for builds on <<
jaunty, because official tarball does not compile with vala 0.5.7. A fix
would be to compile it with vala 0.6.0 on jaunty, which I can upload to
my ppa if vala-team has no resources to do so).

Regards,

Gert
