Well, as I already tried to say... I know, that the package is not even
close to be ready for beeing uploaded. I'm looking for help here.

Maybe I should rather take it out (for my personal download area).

I might not be able to do that. I have no broadband Internet connection,
but only a slow, expensive dialup connection. :-(

May I ask you, or somebody here to build it for me?
...when it is time to do that.

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0.0), gpc (>= 4:3.3.5-3), libncurses5-dev, libsdl1.2-dev

There seems to be no backport of lintian.

As you may have seen, my package has several programs in it.
Since I think the CGI program is not the most important one, the package
not "Depends" on a webserver, but it "Recommends" one.

| Recommends: xdialog, apache | boa | httpd

Is that okay that way?
I've successfully tested it with apache and boa.
The server thttpd did not work.

The program xdialog is needed for diaquiz, which I also consider as
secondary.

Maybe it would be better to make multiple packages from the source tree.
But I'd need help for that. The New Maintainers' Guide doesn't teach
that... Where can I read about it?
