I actually have a new .deb sitting around for 6.3.1
I was about to upload it, and then I found that it got a plethora of
lintian errors.

I've had limited time to evaluate this, unfortunately.
I attempted to remove some of the dups from the control file, but they
somehow seem to keep being put back in automatically.

My development is also slowed down by the build machines not having
X11 dev packages installed on them. But if you are interested, you can take
a look on gluck, in

Suggestions much appreciated.
