Re: Intent to package "gphone"
It looks like the only difference between their package and mine is that
mine has a manual page (which I wrote), and mine adds an entry for gphone in
the debian menus.
I will let them know about the official package as soon as its in unstable
(assuming there are no objections to the package).
Thanks,
Norbert
