Whatever. I consider it release criticial *somewhere* that repackaging upstream tarballs silently mangles them in ways unintended. But I now learned that the bug has seemingly been reported several times already, on several packages, and each of them lowered. I cannot fix this myself, and have given up: I simply repackage by hand myself and cross my fingers that eventual damage to other Debian packages is notified before affecting our users. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
