I can confirm that GRASS's r.out.gdal and QGIS GRASS plugin both now
work out of the box using the Debian+DebianGIS packages.
 (i.e. libgdal1-grass 1.2.5-0.dgis.unstable.4)

(re)added a check to r.out.gdal that looks to see if the plugin is
found.


It would be nice if Debian's QGIS packages could assume GISBASE is
/usr/lib/grass so you don't have to be in GRASS to start it. Maybe
search /usr/lib/grass and wherever GRASS's default 'make install' puts
it (/usr/local/grass??) before sending the "Please set GISBASE and
restart to use GRASS plugin" message?

this works for now:

GISBASE=/usr/lib/grass qgis



thanks for the quick response,
