The New Maintainer Guide does hint that libraries are not usually the best packages to pick. ;-) Don't worry though - my first upstream package and my first Debian package, even before NM, were libraries. :-) > [snip] > | The other problem is that you appear to make this CPU-specific - I > | think this should be made much clearer.
