That makes sense.

OK, so I'll make a `qmail-src' package that contains the source and a
script (make-qmail ?) to build it into a compiled qmail_*.deb

Since Dan only allows the pristine source to be distributed, I'll have a copy 
of his tar and a diff, and probably make the make-qmail script take a 
directory parameter for where it should untar the source, and build the 
package.

Is it OK to install the source in /usr/src/qmail-<version> ?

Any other ideas ?

Cheers, Phil.
