I realize that I'm replying to an e-mail about a package that has already been uploaded :) But since I'm trying to clear up everything that was left unfinished in the initial upload (as mentioned in another e-mail, the upstream author had promised a new version soon, and he did indeed release it, and I'll be RFS'ing mbuffer-20091213-1 real soon now, with the libmhash preference and a couple of other changes)... Maybe I'm being a bit stupid here (happens to me all the time, really :)), but I just don't see what is wrong with a rules file like this. Could you please explain a bit further what you think needs changing? If you mean the --build and --host arguments to the GNU configure script, well, debhelper 7's dh_auto_configure program provides them when needed, so that the DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE / DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE logic no longer has to be duplicated in all the rules files all across the Debian archive :) If you mean something else... what is it, I honestly do not understand? And once again, thanks for your time in reviewing mbuffer!
