I don't like the via-ide hack not being included, it makes the machine unusable when a second ide disk is used. Did you tell me already where i should best ask about this ?

Why not use dpatch ? Works pretty well for other packages i handle myself. BAsically you have to modify the debian/rules to call the dpatch stuff (3 to 4 lines mostly) and then put all the patches in a debian/patches repository, and hae those you want applied listed in a 00list or something such file there. Works pretty well, don't think you can have per arch/subarch patch application though. Friendly, Sven Luther
