Bernard Parisse was interested in Giac to be included in Quantian. So
he added upstream an old version of my "debian" subdirectory. Now
upstream sources contain an updated version of this same subdirectory.
So it is basicly the same packaging, but I am trying to improve the
package in order to fulfil completely the Debian standards, and my
version has now little changes with respect to Bernard's version (it
is slightly more up-to-date).

Now, GIAC does not compile with Debian's libpari-dev 2.1.7. After
present CVS Pari enters Debian, maybe version 2.1.11 or 2.1.12, Giac
will be compiled against it.
