Once again you miss the point.
The packaging situation that has defeated me is for an open-source library.
I am trying to distribute source.
It is not a binary-only distribution.
Are we clear on that bit?
The problem I have is that I cannot build a Debian source package without
modifying the tarball I get from upstream. So there won't be a Debian
source package.
The source RPM will be available as soon as I get back to work (it's only
absent from the FTP site by accident - I thought I'd already published
it).
