Re: Multi-level symlinks for default kernel
I am wondering if anyone else is having the same problems I am with debian keeping the vmlinuz symlink in /. I have several systems where /boot is the only filesystem accessable by the boot loader because of software raid, or possibly lvm (haven't done this yet, but thinking about it). I regularly build my own kernels with make-kpkg, so I changed it to put the vmlinuz symlink in /boot, and changed my menu.lst file in grub to use this symlink to boot from. In this situation, why don't you just forget about the /vmlinuz symlink altogether and just have /boot/vmlinuz point to the proper kernel image? (on my system there is no symlink, I just update grub to point to a new kernel image). I don't see what grub has to be patched for.

Re: but I want the GNU versions of packages

Mawk is smaller and faster, so it makes sense that it's the default awk for a base system. Even in the GNU installer packages for the Hurd, the default awk is mawk rather than gawk.

Thanks for the patch, Andre. (Closes: #190083)
* New Brazilian-Portugese debconf template translation (Thanks, Andre)
* Added a German template (Closes: #138596)
* Removed debian/copyright boilerplate left over from dh_make

it would work with the new config.{guess,sub}.

didn't before, other than devfs uses it. (Closes: #129968)

These are different from what are normally called three-dimensional fractals, which are merely a reinterpretation of two-dimensional data. Quat has many parameters for coloring, drawing functions, defining intersection planes, and more. It can work in both the console and with X.

UTF8 in Debian is _very_ imature still, and even a how to make your package UTF-8 friendly document that you could write (and posted to d-devel and d-desktop if you don't know better places to put it in, since someone will read it and update the other stuff with it if it is good enough) would help things immensely. That document would certainly be a good idea, and I would take it to heart.
