ok, this builds flawlessly --with-fpc, and fails on another one of similar
type --with-gpc:
gpc --automake --executable-file-name -Wall -Wno-identifier-case -O3 -s -D
SDL -D Transitional -D scrNoEscKey scrquiz.pas
scrquiz.pas: In function `askfile':
scrquiz.pas:1013: error: reference expected, value given
scrquiz.pas:1015: error: reference expected, value given
make[1]: *** [scrquiz] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/danchev/download/akfquiz-4.4.0/srcbin'
make: *** [all] Error 2
I believe gpc is just plain wrong, but OTOH it supports all architectures
available in Debian, so if you ask me I'll go for tweaking the code after it.
If you want me to perform more compile tests for you please contact me
off-list, for plain packaging questions please keep posting to this list.

... or just upgrade your gpc and fpc packages on your main system to
streamline and tweak certain parts of your code after them ;-)

`apt-get install httpd' and you'll all the `live' packages which provide
webserver functionality (`httpd' is a virtual one), and if you want you might
try your programs against each of them.
Another thought you might want to consider is the usage of executables with
too generic names and the possibility of current and future file name
clashes. Cgiquiz sounds too generic to me and is probably not the only
program with such a name, therefore I would suggest to prefix all of your
programs with a namespace of `akf' or similar, i.e. `akfcgiquiz' and so on.

Don't forget to cleanup superfluous files and rows after dh_make ;-)
Otherwise the package looks correct to me.
