That I believe is the correct answer for now, I'm about to fly out the
door, but when I get back I'll fix that, the ldconfig problem, move
things to people.debian.org, and see about making it apt-able.
Thanks a lot for the testing and debugging, most of the problems were of
the sort which pop up when you've been up nearly 24 hours working on
something. (=:]

"arguing semantics" is not the same as "arguing nomenclature". My DI
was very good at arguing semantics. He had this funny idea that an
"unloaded" weapon was one that you had personally inspected and that
the semantic difference mattered. Something about not wanting to do
the paperwork of one of us killed someone with an unloaded weapon.
Most technical debates are ultimately about semantics, but that
doesn't mean that they are unimportant.
