I have also bcc:ed various people I know as users of this package: sorry
for the spam, but I would like some more tests before uploading to sid.

I have implemented this with different commits:
1) working directory is /tmp/foo2zjs in /usr/bin/getweb
http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/foo2zjs?view=rev&revision=208
http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/foo2zjs?view=rev&revision=210
http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/foo2zjs?view=rev&revision=211
2) firmware directory is /lib/firmware/hp/, since only HP printer
firmwares are downloaded by the getweb script
http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/foo2zjs?view=rev&revision=213
BTW, I have not checked yet, but if Debian can distribute these
firmwares, they should be provided by one of the firmware-linux-*
packages.
On my virtual sid, getweb works as before, but since I do not have any
of the printers requiring external firmwares, i386 and amd64 packages
for testing are available at:
http://people.debian.org/~gismo/tmp/
Thx, bye,
