Can I conclude that you agree with me that there should be either also be
a seperate source repository (in fact, a different "distribution" tree for
the installer), or alternatively a change in policy to allow the udebs in
the main archive?
Either solution would be fine for me. But it would be important to have a
decision rather sooner than later, as either this or a work around is needed
to make the autobuilder pick the udebs binaries up (at least for turtle).
Thanks,
