Advanced user or developers don't need useless items in a manpage ;)
What use can the --enable-esound flag be in gnome-speciment, for
example ?
Ok. Removed ;)
For bonobo options, they are common to all gnome applications using
bonobo, do you really think it's necessary to repeat these instructions ?
And I'm not sure the modules loading functionality is of any use...
Done.

I got misleaded by overlooking at the code of the resulting package.
Looking again, I see it's only a hack to be able to run modified version
from the source tree. Maybe you should remove that. It's useless in the
installed version, and adds python 2.4 paths even when using python 2.5,
which could have bad side effects.
Anyways, python-gnome2 only comes for python 2.4...
Ok. python-dev as dependency.

Let's first see if someone wants to take care of this.
Hmm. Looking for someone to pick up. Corrected package:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-specimen/gnome-specimen_0.3-1.dsc
