I now have control over the mailing lists. If you are a Debian package
maintainer and are not _currently_ getting debian-private (there were
several messages today), please write to me.
I also (hopefully) have fixed it so that it will handle those "unsubscribe"
requests properly.
Thanks

After further investigation, it appears that the bugs I reported in my earlier
message exist only in the Linux version of csh. tcsh and the FreeBSD version
of csh do *not* have the bugs.

Hello,
I'm encountering some annoying (and apparently well-known) problems
with dselect from dpkg 1.2.14elf (e.g. after a search the arrow keys
loose their function).
I wander if it is safe to install one of the 1.4 version of dpkg on
my mostly buzz-fixed system.
Thanks,

Installing emacs the debian way?
Every file in the lisp directory was installed twice, then the second
