I just want to add a couple of things to this debate and then I'll go back to lurking on this thread. First, I prefer to go with unmodified, upstream source. Second, I really mean unmodified, i.e.. the Debianizing script (or whatever) must take care of unpacking into subdirectories, if necessary. David -- David Engel Optical Data Systems, Inc.
