I was having.

in ./debian/usr/sbin? If so, that is very nice and simple.
Thanks
Hi, Mentors!
I'm helping out Nicolas Boullis with the em8300 packages. This is an
out-of-tree kernel module and utilities to make use of Creative DXR3
and Sigma Designs Hollywood+ DVD decoders cards. I've been discussing
with Nicolas various things about the packages while trying to make a

Hello,
I have updated a few of my packages. Since I have not been able to get
a hold of my AM, I would appreciate it if some kind DD would upload the
packages here:
http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto/debian/uploads/
All of the packages were built in a pbuilder and are lintian clean.
Regards,
I am creating a package for the of rtl8180-sa2400 drivers
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtl8180-sa2400) and I have a question
about editing the rules file in debian/ in the source archive after dh_make.
I wish for the package to install some files in three places:
1. /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/k
