Paul, you might want to talk to Hubert Chathi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> about this, 
or alternatively the Debian GNUstep maintainers 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

This is only useful if you intend to package OGO, otherwise it should be 
removed from the archive along with the fork of the GNU ObjC 
runtime (IMVHO).

That would be a lot of burden for the Debian maintainer for no real 
gain.  The changes needed for the Debian GNUstep packages are entirely 
trivial.

It is true that GNUstep Make 2.0 and 1.x are incompatible, but only a 
few of the GNUstep packages in Debian needed patches to the upstream 
code (all of them needed adjustments for the debian files).  In general, 
properly written GNUmakefile's work with both versions.  (For 
libFoundation things are more complicated -- but adopting it to 2.0 
should be fairly easy, if not already done upstream.)

There shouldn't be bugs filed (at least when we complete the 
transition).  Everything is working as expected as far as the build 
system is concerned.
