Ghe, I'm still not clear why you're doing this, particularly when you're
doing it independently of the larger woody backport project that is already
running. Just about all of the Ximian stuff is *already present* in Debian's
GNOME, minus a few fairly arguable patches here and there... I really don't
grok why you have a whole separate effort for so little benefit beyond the
current Debian unstable GNOME (including the existing woody backport)...
Perhaps I'm missing something...
