huh ???

i thought you cannot upload stuff to debian without sources, did i miss
something here ?

no, it will not, i uploaded to potato, and branden is uploading to slink, they
will both still be there ... Another option will be to upload them to
experimental, but i was told it is not nice to put stuff there, and potato,
that is unstable is for stuff like that, while slink (frozen) is where branden
will play with 3.3.2.3.

apart from that i asked where to put it, and nobody responded to me ...

ok if there is still a problem, i will change the .changes file, so this stuff
will go to experimental, is this ok ? but i still think potato is the right
place for that ...
