Well, Chicken now contains the debian/ directory, currently used
to facilitate the creation of unofficial `.deb's. Perhaps you
shold review it.
I've suggested to link Chicken against the host version of PCRE
instead of the one supplied with Chicken itself [1]. Felix has
recently committed a patch [2] which simplifies the change.
Could this change be adopted for the official Debian package?
There's a small thread starting at [3] which points a few
problems with the current Debian packaging. Could you please
review it?
I hope to make some patches (namely, `srcdir' support and
`CHICKEN_LIBRARY_PATH' support) soon, which may be of a
particular interest to the Debian users.

Strange enough. Hope you'll receive this one.
