I gotta say how much I like what you've done with the unison package! I maintained a custom debian package of unison 2.10.2 for use in our heterogeneous organization, but your solution is MUCH cleaner - the sed & debhelper stuff in debian/rules is super tight - many thanks!

There are just a couple problems before we can abandon our custom package in favor of the official one -

* Binaries are named '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@', versus '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@', which breaks the '-addversionno' argument. The behavior of '-addversionno' could be patched to support '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' binaries, but the problem would persist on our os x machines -


[myhost:~] jablko% unison -addversionno src zsh: command not found: unison-2.9.1 Fatal error: Lost connection with the server [myhost:~] jablko%


* unison-gtk includes the text interface with the '-ui text' argument, so it should conflict with unison, not depend on it

* The menu section should be Apps/Tools, like the doc-base section. As you point out in README.Debian, network functionality is only an optional application of unison

The changes I made to your latest unison package for our organization are attached - our custom package is hosted here - http://cgi.sfu.ca/~jdbates/debian/pool/unison/

Thanks again for all your hard work on unison - it's a wicked improvement!

Jack
