I fear there will be a lot. for me lintian failed, and I had some curious behaviour with one package I sponsored recently. To avoid problems atm, I force my pbuilder to use the tar from testing. As tar is a core component of the distro, I'm quite afraid of that change, that may have quite well hidden side effects, and be quite desastrous :/ -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O [EMAIL PROTECTED] OOO http://www.madism.org
