Good grief, please, no. The last thing we want is to force an obviously bad package through the NEW queue once only to have to force the same, completely redone, source package through the NEW queue again. This is *not* a good solution. It puts additional unnecessary strain on the ftpmasters and in the end Alex's current packages *aren't* good enough to be released with etch anyway so there's really no point in trying to rush to upload them to unstable where they'll just sit and rot until they're replaced by something viable anyway (much the way the last set of packages has...). I'll work on putting something together that's reasonable to upload today. I've already noticed a couple of issues with the minimalist package you originally posted (they're not hard to fix, just some files in inappropriate places and whatnot) and I'll see about fixing those today and will re-review Alex's package for features which should be included in the Debian postgis package. btw, I'm on freenode and OFTC as 'Snow-Man', I'll try and find you there too... Thanks, Stephen
