See /usr/doc/g++/README.Debian ; suggestions for improvement are welcome.

Yes. Basically, just about all the functionality that was in the GNU
extensions is now available in the standard C++ (template) library (and thus

I don't spread rumours without a significant amount of truth in them :-)
As of egcs 1.0.3-0.2 (8 May), libg++ packages for hamm are available:
libg++2.8 and libg++2.8-dev .
