Julian, > [...] the addition of > debian/compat makes me kind of suspicious, as does the lintian override sorry for the large diffs. * d/compat is a side-effect of the rebuild, it gets created during that, but is not /per-se/ necessary. * The override is what's in the unstable version now. Maybe Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>, the maintainer can tell us why this is a good idea. Best, Laszlo
