Well, the upshot of it is, the mysql package is *not* appearing in the
packages file, and hasnt for a long time now. I am grateful that someone
told me the exact url where to find it, but god, lots of people must just
assume we dont have it.
Thanks again.

I just checked this bug. It refers to Version 1.06-3 of e2fsprogs, but
1.10-2 is the current version in "bo". Thus I consider this bug obsolete.

I have made a Debian package of `cgiwrap`, which allows users to run

Hi,
I just import the upstream version with ``cvs import -ko'', and
``cvs add'' my changes without any k options. This way the upstream
sources do not get mangled, but the debian only files come with full
