Thank you! I will add a README.Debian, it's a good
suggestion. I have access to Debian amd64 and PowerPC
architectures. If building for them is identical to
building for i386 then I can make those available as well.

This sounds like a good idea to me. I can rebuild the
package for i386, with the README.Debian, and make it
available later today.
Jeff and Andi, thanks for your time on this so far. Your
help is appreciated!
