Oh. I took a chance and wrote without verifying that it actually
worked. Good that you figured it out and succeeded the merge. And even
better that you shared your findings :-)
Would be nice if someone grabbed the most recently updated README.Source
(not sure if it was from the sugar or the sugar-core package - I believe
I posted an update here a month or two ago) and put it on a wiki page of
its own below http://wiki.debian.org/Sugar somewhere - and extend the
text with this more seldomly needed but then quite helpful routine.
Then we can refer to that wiki page in README.Source of all
Sugar-related packages, instead of duplicating the files as I have done
in the past :-)
