Thank you very much for the information I did not know that, I will
get started on -2 right away. I have a problem that I'm not sure
how to fix. The package I have in NEW is 3.3.3.2-1 I had to remove
some window support files (.dll and .exe) from the orig.tar.gz and
reading through the debian manuals I noticed that the package should
have been 3.3.3.2-dfsg-1. I have placed a list of all the files
removed in README.Debian. Should I package it as 3.3.3.2-dfsg-1 or
3.3.3.2.dfsg-2 since this is actually the second debian version?
