By the way, anyone can reproduce what I'm doing by following these steps: $ svn co http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/onetime/trunk/ onetime $ cd onetime $ make deb $ lintian -i debian/output/onetime_1.73-1_i386.changes IOW, the packaging routine is encoded in the top-level Makefile and in the files in the debian/debian/ subdir. -Karl
