That's not bad idea. But I also think to safe packager's load ;) As I have long list of packages to maintain and there are often lack man power in team I tend minimize packaging work. What about ask upstream to include 2 demo_songs and 2 drumkits in hydrogen? Then provide hydrogen-data package with this "songs and drumkits" and add link for downloading other files in description of package. Hopefully simple for user and easy to maintain mira _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
