The xdotool package is now available (version 20071230-1) from my apt
repository.  You'll need the following lines in /etc/apt/sources.list:

 deb http://cmrg.fifthhorseman.net/debian unstable xdotool
 deb-src http://cmrg.fifthhorseman.net/debian unstable xdotool

The repository is signed by my key.  I welcome any feedback on the
packaging, as usual.

The package works for me, and builds lintian-clean fwict. 

As i'm not a DD, i'll need a sponsor for this upload.  However, i'm a
DM, so if you think this package is reasonable and i could continue to
upload new versions without trouble, i've set the
XS-Dm-Upload-Allowed: yes flag in debian/control.

Prospective sponsors who would prefer to upload without
DM-Upload-Allowed, please contact me before uploading.  I'm fine with
such an upload, but i'd rather avoid having to nag sponsors for new
versions if possible.

Regards,

        --dkg
