Fixed.

This is likely not really needed to get installed.

If we install it, I'd prefer to install it in usr/bin.  This way, the
script is more usable for other purposes.  The manpage can likely get
generated from the POD in the sources, using pod2man.  We should patch
upstream Makefile for that.

Hrm, I'd rather be verbose in the changelog file.  It will help
cooperation between us too.  (Just made a commit on
freedict-tools/trunk/debian/changelog.)

Forgot that, sorry.  Committed now.

BTW: you can build the package using something like:

 joostvb at nagy:~/sv...ges/freedict-tools/trunk% svn-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot --svn-ignore --svn-dont-purge


Once we're lin{da,tian} clean, we can do:

 joostvb at nagy:~/sv...ges/freedict-tools/trunk% svn-buildpackage -uc -us
  -rfakeroot --svn-ignore --svn-dont-purge --svn-lintian --svn-linda

Traditional build-methods work too, BTW.  See also debian/TODO.

Bye,

Joost
