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.
