Right now I only have a small "mess" here, I probably won't make it
before the weekend to create proper dpatches.

Sure. I assumed that the movie "dancemonkeyboy.mpg" was removed on
purpose (size?). Also while mplayer works fine, as it is not provided
in Debian we should maybe use vlc or xine instead. I'll check that
out.

Right now I do:
ln -s tex/advilogo.eps test/
cd test && $(MAKE)
rm test/advilogo.eps
and
tex/bar.eps examples/basics/
cd examples && $(MAKE)
rm examples/basics/bar.eps
And I right now think I understand why they are not copied (and they don't
have to, for some still unknown reason), i.e., the logo is present in
the presentation in test/

Well, it is a shell script:
taquin: a /usr/bin/ocamlrun script text executable
The second line starts some binary data, which kills my terminal if
cat'ed. (reset cures that)
According to the man page,
ocamlrun - The Objective Caml bytecode interpreter
is this bytecode the same as with java, i.e., is it portable? Well,
I'll most likly try it out later in a testing/unstable alpha or i386
chroot.
