  Hi, I grabbed the source and built my own set of .debs so that I could
stick them in my private package archive (I could have done it by hand but
I wrote a script that can automatically install a set of packages given a
.changes file.. ) and retreive them via apt.  In the process I discovered that
they don't cleanly build unless you switch the calls so that dh_shlibdeps
comes before dh_gencontrol -- gencontrol needs the shlib dependencies in order
to work, I think.  Other than that they seem to build ok (note that I haven't
installed them yet, though! ;-) )
