I'm on a 56k dialup, so it's not an option :-(

I'm only parsing `debian/control.in' with sed, to add
`-$(UPSTREAM_VERSION)' suffixes to the library packages names, so that
they are always correctly versioned, so I can't see it causing
problems, since the parsing is done within debian/rules.  I'm not
using yada or anyting like that.

Would anyone be willing to sponsor `ijs'?

Thanks,
Roger
