Is kstars that often installed on true multi-user systems such that a quick hack is warranted? I find it very unfortunate that you refuse to integrate with existing Debian work right from the start. Given that your package is unlikely to make it into Squeeze anyway, IMHO there is no need to hurry. Why not prepare a nicely integrated package right away, what would you expect to gain from this first shot if you'll later plan to transition to stardata-common anyway? Please don't feel offended in any way, but I'm not going to sponsor such a package. Of course many others might have a very different attitude and will take it, so just don't count on me. Best regards, Michael
