To be fair, the answer has been no, to all intents and purposes I've 
been MIA as the maintainer. I really am sorry you've had to put the 
work in to make custom ones.

Yep, I have to come clean on this, as I have made a mess of this 
starting with the last minute changes for woody back in April.  

At the moment I'm trying to get a chroot working (amongst other 
things so not right now as you'll guess if you read the headers) for 
woody and sid so I can make and test fixed gnomesword packages for 
woody and then make the gcc3.2 transitioned sword lib, then move onto 
the new apps. (I need to check what is wrong as the xserver won't 
start on the chroot)

indeed, though that hasn't been the case for gnomesword and the sword 
lib.

Anyway, it's bedtime now so I can't think of more to say right now.

Sorry,
