awesome! i attached it because my debian server is currently
inconsistent as it's being rsync'd through 64kbit/s isdn, which si
*darn* slow. hope this is fine...

i am experiencing a small problem because lintian reports

  W: iprelay: perl-script-needs-dependency
  "perl5|perl5-thread|perl-5.004|perl-5.005|perl-5.005-thread"
  ./usr/bin/iprelay use POSIX
  W: iprelay: perl-script-needs-dependency
  "perl5|perl5-thread|perl-5.004|perl-5.005|perl-5.005-thread"
  ./usr/bin/iprelay use Getopt::Std

but i do have

  Depends: perl5 | perl5-thread | perl-5.004 | perl-5.005 |
  perl-5.005-thread

in the debian/control file. oh well.

also, do you know why this package doesn't have a diff? i am assuming
it's because i renamed the original from ip_relay to iprelay for
Debian policy.

so i got the original ip_relay-0.71.tar.gz file, extracted it, deleted
it, renamed the directory iprelay-0.71, made a new tar.gz file
iprelay-0.71.tar.gz, and then built the package...

i am. that's why i am looking for a sponsor and advocate. want to be
both, Colin?
