Yes. In fact, the 5.8.0 thing has hit me quite bad, in that I'm in
the middle of a commercial project where I can't just go whacking my
box upside the head, as it were, in the middle.
I apologize if I've been excessively silent about it---I've been on a
deathmarch to try and get things to the point to where I could do the
Debian thing, but I've just run out of time.
NMU away kids, I hope to be back to catch up on all this in a couple
of weeks.
Mike.
