Well, mintlib is easy, it’s a cross compilation, so we can easily tell
dh_strip to use the cross strip tool.

Ugh… *looks at source*

Apparently, ataboot is a TOS executable and as such needs mintlib.

Thanks, that would be easier.

No, that’s actually an RC bug… they actually must even be removed from
the .orig.tar.gz if it doesn’t include the sources!
Good to know. Let’s keep this quiet until then though, otherwise
ftpmasters would probably remove aranym and hatari from the
archives unless it gets fixed ASAP…
I’ll work on all these then.
