last i checked, a package directory should be named package-version, and not
something else. So if you change the package name, you have to change also the
directory contained in the tarball. This don't change the upstream tarball so
much and is the way to do things, at least according to the various packaging
manuals available on the debian web site.
And yes it breaks something, if not, i would not even have noticed it, try to
build your package with dbuild, it will complain about not finding
glib1.1.5-1.1.5 after having untarred the tarball. I also think it is false,
since gtk is handled correctly, and surely you can not say that for glib you
cannot change the upstream tarballl, but that for gtk you can.
also breaking the dbuild means that we get no automaticcaly builded package for
non i386 architectures, ...

ha yes, but it don't seem to use glib-config, and since glib1.1.5 and gtk1.1.5
don't install in the same place, it breaks the gtkglarea ... Like i wrote it.
and i think itr is debian policy to put includes in /usr/include, and not in
another place ...

sorry about the CC, i surely mishandled my mailer ...
but then make sure you read all the things i wrote before saying to read the
FAQ ...

Ok i will not do it anymore ...
anyway, i just reported this things, for my personal use i repared them myself,
changing the tarball directory name, and making a symlink for the correct place
for the includes. Also notice that i only have 1.1.5 installed, and
enlightenment, which depends on some imlib stuff runs fine ....
