The debian/Ubuntu packaging is IMO, rather woeful. It would have been much better to ask the license questions in the preinst script using debconf. As an Ubuntu packager, I do not endorce the packaging quality of the deb. I would also think that offering a tarball download would make sense, as there are users of other distros here, such as Slackware. At this point, such users have to jump through hoops just to get the package installed. - -- Luke Yelavich GPG key: 0xD06320CE (http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt) Email & MSN: themuso@themuso.com Jabber: themuso@jabber.org.au -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGaKCYjVefwtBjIM4RAhsEAKCf8suPqNLlJQx6xwGI/JU3gyQg8wCcCNJl Q91sFp13HlogSHsWRY4CFxg= =UKuV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
