One thing to note about the Wt PPA repository: if it kills your cat,
it's not Emweb's fault but 100% MY fault. The Wt PPA is not affiliated
with Emweb in any way. I have made this clear in the PPA description
now.

I explained this in my former e-mail. This is expected behavior. Had
you used apt-get to install Wt, this issue would not have appeared.

Because that is against the Debian Policy, which is proven and tested
to work. It's been there for 15 years :-)

To avoid these problems, either mark the runtime packages (libwt24,
libwt25, etc) as manually installed, or use apt-get instead of
aptitude.
