I'm doing that as well. It's usually about 5 minutes work: dh_make, add
--sysconfdir=/etc and something similar to the configure and install
lines in the rules file and off you go.
The current potato packages are new enough to compile bonobo, gill, eog,
gdk-pixbuf. The people on this list are cranking out new versions faster
than I can compile them at home.

You don't suppose that the chance to start over after two years is what
actually makes the difference here?
We've got more than two years of perl code here and it's still as
maintainable as we made it.
