Hi Jonas,

I have a suggestion while you're waiting for developments in WxWidget
packaging.  How about packaging the command-line bits of bitcoin (as
bitcoin-cli or bitcoin-headless, say)?

I'd imagine that quite a lot of Debian users would end up running the
cli stuff anyway (since having coin generation ticking away on some
server seems like a fairly likely scenario, and seems likely to be good
for the P2P network)

Then, once the WxWidget stuff becomes available, that can be generated
as another package, possibly depending on the cli one.

Cheers, Phil.

P.S. I note that 0.3.14 just got released.
