Morten,

Couple of minor warnings that I'm not too concerned about:

I: gtkglarea source: debian-watch-file-is-missing
W: gtkglarea source: quilt-patch-missing-description 01-gtkgl.m4.patch
W: gtkglarea5: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libgtkgl5

Obviously the watch file is pretty much impossible since I couldn't find 
an upstream.  The patch missing description is an ieasy fix if you have 
to do another upload.

What I'm most concerned with is the soname.  I know there are several 
rdepends on this package so I could see not fixing that for now but I 
wanted to check with you first.

Thanks,

Barry deFreese
