Thanks will try to build the package soon after my personal live is a 
bit quieter (will get busy over the next week or so)

Also it allows me to wait for bugreports :-D

I will upload the deb package on my sourceforge host is that ok ?

Can i test my package in my PC and get a reliable feedback ? (caouse im 
building it on it)

Thanks again
