Hello,

well, thats my first debian package I'm working on, so it could take a
while until its good enough to be part of Debian. 

Maybe you could provide your full name to me, so'd be able to include it
to the copyright file.

 $ gcc -v
  Using built-in specs.
  Target: i486-linux-gnu
  Configured with: ../src/configure -v
   --enable-languages=c,c++,java,f95,objc,ada,treelang --prefix=/usr
   --enable-shared --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib
   --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --enable-nls
   --program-suffix=-4.0 --enable-__cxa_atexit
   --enable-libstdcxx-allocator=mt --enable-clocale=gnu
   --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-java-gc=boehm --enable-java-awt=gtk
   --enable-gtk-cairo
   --with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.0-1.4.2.0/jre
   --enable-mpfr --disable-werror --enable-checking=release i486-linux-gnu
  Thread model: posix 
  gcc version 4.0.2 (Debian 4.0.2-2)

Further on as of July when Matthias Klose [1] announced GCC 4.0 as default
compiler you should rather use it than 3.3.5.

The latter one works here at my machine.
