I've decided to try my hand at being a debian developer; and have picked
mtr (from the orphaned list) as something to try. Some questions:

- - should it be installed in /usr/sbin (it is a set-uid network diag
program)
- - is the man page regarded as architecture independant?

I am using deb-make and it picks the architecture as Any; the package that
I am replacing also contains this. I should set this to i386, riht?

Also what is the best place to put this kind of program? Apps/System,
Apps/Network or Apps/Misc?

Regards,
Anand.
