Re: dh_help

[Paul Yeatman <pyeatman@ucsd.edu>]

Thanks for the help.  I like the 'auto-apt' solution although it
appears to be only available for Woody.  I can do a source build with
apt-get, however, for my Potato builds.  The problem with trying to
find a particular command using the Debian web site package search is
that the commands are not exhaustively listed in the package's
description (naturally).

Thanks, again,

Paul
