FWIW, there's on difficulty in packagin ThinkFinger.
I was wondering if having two packages with only one or two files [1]
was worth it, because in this case we have 4 times [2] the same
changelog.gz, changelog.Debian.gz, copyright and README.
As I already said, however, there're going to be two separated
packages.
Thx, bye,

[1] one in libthinkfinger0, two in thinkfinger-tools (binary and manpage)
