tbh we need to make packages if u care about those users. that means for
example make our own ubuntu packages - gentoo can look after itself (and well
mess things up with use flags as it is want to do, so i don't much care there).

jeff - could you spread the love for your debian rules/control and other pkging

for pretty much everything... and speaking of stuff.. that's another email. :)
