Sorry for the slow turnaround on this. I've now given splay a more
thorough rework. It can be found at http://www.callpoint.org/splay/

I've addressed (I think) all the things Andreas suggested (thanks
Andreas): DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, DEB_{BUILD,HOTS}_GNU_TYPE, copyright and
decruft, as well as a minor bufix. Hopefully someone will consider
uploading it for me. Neither linda and lintian are complaining.

There is a slight complication: the QA team uploaded a version that
fixed some arch bugs by setting architecture to all [1]. I don't seem to
be able to get the latest sources (I guess the update hasn't been fully
absorbed yet). This means that my changes will need to be merged and a
new version (9.5.2-6) created. Can this be done before the mirrors get
updated or must I wait?

Cheers

John
