Sorry for the slow turnaround on this. I've now given splay a more thorough rework. It can be found at http://www.callpoint.org/splay/ I've addressed (I think) all the things Andreas suggested (thanks Andreas): DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, DEB_{BUILD,HOTS}_GNU_TYPE, copyright and decruft, as well as a minor bufix. Hopefully someone will consider uploading it for me. Neither linda and lintian are complaining. There is a slight complication: the QA team uploaded a version that fixed some arch bugs by setting architecture to all [1]. I don't seem to be able to get the latest sources (I guess the update hasn't been fully absorbed yet). This means that my changes will need to be merged and a new version (9.5.2-6) created. Can this be done before the mirrors get updated or must I wait?
