	The idea of a "--with-debian-policy" configure script argument
occured to me today; having that argument expand to all of the arguments my
package uses to fit in with debian:

        ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=\$${prefix}/share/man \
	--infodir=\$${prefix}/share/info --host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) \
	--build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) --libexecdir=\$${prefix}/lib \
        --with-makefilepl-args="INSTALLDIRS=vendor PREFIX=/usr" \
        --with-docdir=/usr/share/doc/libbtt0/html

	Anyways, I've successfully moved to a non-native package and removed
all lintian warnings, except one that shows up on my work machine, but not
on my home machine:

W: libapache2-mod-bt: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_bt.so /usr/local/lib

	I've asked the debian-apache list how much I should care about that.

	New .deb's are here:

	http://www.crackerjack.net/mod_bt/experimental_debs/

	In that folder is also the output from "debuild" and "pbuilder". It
seems sane enough to me. :-)

	So now I need a sponsor. Is there anybody out there that is willing
to shepherd these .deb's into the flock of debian/unstable?

	Thanks,
