Did I changed something? Hmmmm, I do not remember. Since I have no
cmake experience (see my constant asking cmake questions on
debian-mentors) I doubt that it was me and if so I must have had a
really strong reason (like someone targetting with a gun on me or so).

Do whatever sounds apropriate with the package. I'd be super happy if I
never need to touch it again since it is in your skillful hands. :-)
Kind regards
