Umm, I have no interest in providing a continuosly updated set
of .deb files; I prefer enabling people to fish, rather than
providing them with fish forever ;-).
Someone else is welcome to take up the task, however.
I think I shall create a separate package, called
gnus-package, and renae the script make-gnus, and distribute it, juas
as I do kernel-package.
Any objections?
