Wasn't the idea of splitting libgrass into separate package to make it
possible to link gdal against grass without installing the whole GRASS?!
That we are currently at it and Stephen imported the new SVN, I would
like to suggest a second GRASS-SVN-entry for debian/ dealing with the
GRASS-CVS-version.
AFAIK there are some changes to build proper debian_packages using
GRASS-CVS and stable GRASS with the debian-folder on alioth.
This would come arround the problem Paolo had. Also checkinstall could
be avoided.
What do others think?
Stephan
