i like that approach, thank you! (ok, this sort of problem is new to 
me, so i'm turned easily, but still, i like it.)

i fail to see how is this a problem, but i guess this has to be 
decided by someone more interested in debian politics than i am. one 
either habitually unbundles (without understanding consequences is not 
uncommon, this witty remark is here to bad-mouth debian) components 
that are available in debian too *and* accepts the fact that this 
indeed might pull in other dependencies (this is what debian does), or 
doesn't unbundle and keeps vewy quiet (this isn't what debian does). i 
personally don't care and don't want to be involved. i came upon 
libbsd only by chance, and thought supporting it would be nice, but i 
accept the fact that the problem grew over me very fast, and now i 
would very much like to chicken out.

i like this. thanks!
