Thank you very much for the information I did not know that, I will get started on -2 right away. I have a problem that I'm not sure how to fix. The package I have in NEW is 3.3.3.2-1 I had to remove some window support files (.dll and .exe) from the orig.tar.gz and reading through the debian manuals I noticed that the package should have been 3.3.3.2-dfsg-1. I have placed a list of all the files removed in README.Debian. Should I package it as 3.3.3.2-dfsg-1 or 3.3.3.2.dfsg-2 since this is actually the second debian version?
