According to the instructions from www.backports.org, I have changed the name
of the source directory from scim-1.4.1-1 to scim-1.4.1-backports.org.1
After the construction of the package, I obtain
libscim8_1.4.1-backports.org.1_i386.deb
Is it that you recommended ? I can't see any libscim8 in sarge so I don't see
how I can make a conflict.
I am a beginner in making debian packages so I apologise for disturbing you.

Thanks you.
