This bug, #4, is not error in the xcontrib package, but in dh_installxaw,
program that puts this code in package's postinst script. Actually, I
discovered this bug while testing this xcontrib NMU :)

So, all porters that want to port this package should either upgrade to
debhelper 2.0.14 (IIRC), or apply this patch to their dh_installxaw:

--- dh_installxaw.orig  Mon Jul 12 20:22:11 1999
+++ dh_installxaw       Mon Jul 12 20:22:27 1999

					}

TIA!
