Hi Tom, 

sounds good at a first view.

However, I did not quit understand. Can I add several files instead of a single 
one? And will it preserve rights, as I set?

I do not believe, it will break debian security rules. When it is finished, I 
will offer it for download to official debian maintainers. I am sure, they will 
check it against, and then may decice to put it into the repo.

It is sakis3g, which is already working well (just a script!), which I left 
original.

The only things I changed, were:

- added a menu entry for kde
- changed owner from root:root to root:dig

But it is a script, and I want it make it easy to install for all users as a 
package. 

If someone else will build a package, I will be happy, too.
