You don't have to tell me, if I ever upload this libxpm before dpkg gets
fixed, I won't live long enough to see it installed in the archive :)
Current xpm packages look bad, but at least the contents is okay, so
I'll just wait for dpkg people to enable this whole renaming thing.
In the meantime, I'd like someone with non-i386 machine to try and build
what I've done so far, at http://master.debian.org/~joy/. From my
experience, the best testing a package can get, is to get ported.
