Well, all I wanted to tell Flavio was, that the suggested package "fglrx-amdcccle" created by the ati-installer is empty. So when he prepares the packages for Debian, he should have a look, which files are considered for this package and not blindly copy your work. I do not expect him to fix bugs in the ati-installer itself. There are a lot more bugs in the Debian packages you provide.

I know, I read the bug reports and the workarounds and Flavios comment about the license issue with the workaround. All I wanted to say is, that the release notes do not fit, what the ati-installer ships. This is also just a FYI-information for the bug-readers and not a hint to Flavio to fix the ati-installer. But it was thought to be a hint for you. That's the reason, why I BCCed you in my answer to the BTS.

BTW: Are you part of the ATI Linux Driver team? I'm planning to hand over the fglrx-manpages to ATI now, because of lack of time. So if you are part of this team or have contact to it's leader (Matthew Tippett?), I would kindly ask you to tell him and that he should contact me.
