! LaTeX Error: Unknown option `hang' for package `caption'.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...

l.4 \begin
          {document}
?

Using \RequirePackageWithOptions{caption2} did the trick then. Thanks
very much for the hint! I think, we'll use then:

%%% caption.sty is not contained in this Debian version, see
%%% http://bugs.debian.org/251761
\PackageWarningNoLine{caption}{caption.sty not available, using caption2.sty}
\RequirePackageWithOptions{caption2}

Reuben, could you test that a little bit?
