If you are an official Debian Developer, I think you should
upload them to master. If not, I would consider the posibility of
becoming a developer. I don't want two distributions: one in lix
and other in master (sorry Eric; I think your machine has been very
useful, but we should upload things to master).

I'm working on altgcc right now. If everything goes OK, I
may have a working version this week.

Pointers? The Debian Policy and the Debian Packaging Manual,
available from ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/package-developer.
I'm afraid I can't help you with X, but you could have a look
at the RedHat sources for that.

If they are minor building problems, yes, I think you should
submit bug reports.

Thank you :) Please tell me any problem you could find with
those packages.
