Why did you remove my use of a build folder? It was working perfectly!
You are also removing the patch that does:
- CFLAGS="-O20 -ffast-math -D_REENTRANT -fsigned-char
std=gnu99"
- PROFILE="-pg -g -O20 -ffast-math -D_REENTRANT
fsigned-char -std=gnu99";;
+ CFLAGS="-D_REENTRANT -fsigned-char -std=gnu99"
+ PROFILE="-pg -g -D_REENTRANT -fsigned-char std=gnu99";;
(and same for the configure) Why? It's 100% needed!!!
With what I did, dh_autoreconf isn't needed anymore. dh_autoreconf is
overly complicated, and it's nice to be able to avoid it.
Anyway, that's *not* what is needed for this package. What Debian needs
is fixing the RC bugs, and here, by removing my patch, you are readding
an issue that I've fixed!!! :)

It did sound good, but it turned out to be a horrible mistake. I should
have upload to Experimental as well before the release of Squeeze.

I do think we did some nice work 8 months ago adding the test suite to
libdbi-drivers.
