I have changed this in my latest version.

I tested this before and with the patch I sent it worked fine with qgis.
I will test it again with this new package, but probably not until
Monday.

Hopefully soon. Here are the remaining major issues:
1. libgrass soname and package names. There has been some discussion
about this on the list, but I haven't digested it yet. Not sure if
changes are required upstream. Maybe they have already been made in
grass CVS.
2. I have a bug filed against the geos package that says the doc package
should be built using the binary-indep target in debian/rules. I suspect
this is true of grass-doc too, but I haven't figured out exactly how to
do it yet.
3. Provide READMEs/Debconf screens with upgrade information.
When these are squared away, it will be ready in my opinion.

I am aiming to get grass 5.7.0 into debain ASAP. I will look at
packaging/testing cvs snapshots sometime, but that is of secondary
importance I feel. When 6.0 beta is released I think it would be worth
switching to trying to get that packaged for debian. But hopefully 5.7
will get in before that happens.
