Thanks for your GREAT work Dariush along with this provided from 
http://marillat.free.fr/. It's nice to hear and see that there are people 
around working hard to resolve the issues ... Probably at some point it might 
be useful to think about cpu optimized packages if worthy. Here are some nice 
examlples as references I am aware of:

Yeah, Yeah ;-) I know I can sync the code from Mplayer CVS and even pass my 
options (not just compiler/linker ones) to configure than autodetected 
through: DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=--bla-bla fakeroot debian/rules clean binary 
(which I currently do using Daruish's maintainer scripts)
