We, Debian JP Project http://www.debian.or.jp/ , have packaged
many Japanese-oriented softwares and uploaded them to Debian.
Then what occured?  Some non-Japanese people asked us how to use
them and possible bugs and so on, which means that Japanese-
oriented softwares are sometimes useful for non-Japanese people.
Please go ahead.  If someone non-Swedish finds the software in
Debian packages and feels it is very useful, he/she may start
a project to translate it into English or other languages.  It
is exciting!

However, the software will have to have a license document in English.

Unfortunately some packages still use it; there are 68 packages in the
archive that build-depend on it. It's not clear that use of debmake can
be considered a bug unless it's actually broken.

Maybe the package description should just mention that it isn't being
developed any more.

My guess is that you aren't running the binary target as root or faked
root, which you need to do. Try installing fakeroot and building the
package with dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot. As for the configuration
file, perhaps you're accidentally installing it into the real filesystem
as opposed to debian/tmp and never noticed because you always built as
real root before?

Incidentally, make sure that /etc/init.d/ixbiff is a conffile too.

debmake/debstd's development was frozen some time ago, so I doubt it.
Most people [1] who use a helper package these days use debhelper.

debstd doesn't actually physically copy the script into debian/tmp - you
need to do that yourself in debian/rules.
