Ups. Seems I either oversaw your previous message or I forgot about
it. Since, however, I did not continue my work on Anope anyway, that
package is probably better in your hands.

One request ...  please do the ngircd users a favour and
package 1.9.x since 1.8.x does not have support for ngircd yet.

From my remembrance, Debianisation of Anope wasn't easy, mostly since
it appearently wasn't written with Debian's requirements in mind (just
saying, no one to blame here). I can provide you my incomplete
Debianisation of 1.9.6, but with a no questions asked policy only :)
It's just I forgot most of the gory details. The major things and as
far as I can recall:

* Anope's file system layout is not at all FHS-like, you have to patch
  that. Expect some surprises.

* The module loader uses randomized file names. Completely
  unnecessary, drop that.

* There is an openssl linkage without an according exception by
  upstream. Try to get one (I failed), or ship Anope without.

Cheers,

    Christoph
