Yes. dinstall (or katie) is like wanna-build; ``packaging it'' (i.e. simply putting the relevant files into a .deb) is trivial but actually _packaging_ it into a real, useful, working .deb isn't. Worse yet, the most obvious people to package it (authors and/or people using it a) all have working, existent setups and so no particular need for a package, b) are usually busy because ftpmaster/porters tend to have lots of other (usually more important ITO) things to do. *shrug* patches always welcome, etc. blah blah. -- James
