Hi, I'm really, really sorry about the awful delay :( I'm almost done with some changes to my Debian package, which might very well turn out incorporating your manual pages :) (thanks!) I'll send a more elaborate reply later today or tomorrow. Just as a side note, about your earlier Debian-specific question about using debhelper 9: well, it offers quite a few Good Things(tm), if only for the dependencies between the build targets and the multiarch support. The build flags help a bit, too, although I've already acquired the habit of setting them to absolute values anyway. And about the support in earlier Debian releases - well, there *is* a very much functional backport of debhelper 9 to Debian Squeeze, so there are really no problems there. Anyway, the package is not using anything really specific to debhelper 9 (see my remark about setting absolute flags above :)), so backporting it to even earlier (unsupported anyway :)) releases of Debian will be as simple as changing the compat level and the versioned dependency. > @Others: I have now created an Ubuntu PPA for my package builds.
