1. Package build process must be non-interactive
------------------------------------------------
This has been already presented to the list and had been accepted, but
Christian did not have time to actually edit the file.
Currently, the packaging manual only says that the `build' target of
debian/rules has to be non-interactive. Since an interactive
debian/rules script makes it impossible to autocompile that package
and also makes it hard for other people to reproduce the same binary
package, the packaging manual should be changed to require that all
_required targets_ have to be non-interactive. The required targets
are those called by _dpkg-buildpackage_, for one. (Additional
debian/rules targets may be interactive.)
I am now looking for seconds for this proposal.

Of course, you're probably going to say it does in your ``analysis''
of public-key systems, because you'll do anything to make RSA look
better than it really is. Have fun making a fool of yourself. Dan
