Thanks for the recipes for avoiding the quilt stuff; whilst still more work than "just use 1.0", but perhaps the advantages are indeed worth it.

I had to go away and read up on the other things 3.0 brings to the table. Indeed they are nice-to-haves, which I am not benefiting from precisely because they are presently only available in Debian via 3.0 (quilt). This is a bit of a marketing fail for 3.0., in hindsight. -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
