Great, because I tried to make some sort of "deps check" http://paste.debian.net/plain/105221 (long time ago) wasn't aware there was http://wiki.debian.org/Ayatana/Packages which is great because I was thinking of re-packaging indicator-* stuff first and I'll make sure I update the list. I'll redo the whole process, and will report back on the results on what happens. > Also, it should be noted that Unity is currently implemented as a > plugin to the Compiz 0.9.x branch.
