Ok. I suppose the file 5.4.2_to_5.4.2-debian.diff is the diff against 
the current debian packages? If not, can you provide the source 
packages as well?

Hm, ace is becoming bigger and bigger :-)
Why is it not installed by default? maybe it's experimental? or do you 
mean that it is not installed in the debian packages?

Ok, I was looking at the changelog, what does otonet mean ? :-)
I was thinking maybe we mark the release version with the current 
sarge naming scheme, eg 5.4.2.1-1.sarge.4 etc...

So, basically the only thing left is the split of the Reactors right 
to separate packages right? I'm curious how mpc works, is there some 
nice manual/howto/whatever?

You did a very good job, thanks! Now we can have current ace packages 
in sarge! :-)

PS. I think you should become one of the package maintainers :-)
