Thanks! Building for armel right now.

Here is a little task for the next release, noticed by the lintian tool:

W: mumpot: manpage-has-useless-whatis-entry usr/share/man/man1/download_osm.1.gz
N:
N:   The whatis entry for this manual page (the brief description found in
N:   the NAME section) is of the form:
N:   
N:    program - manual page for program
N:   
N:   This conveys no information about what the program is for and is
N:   repetitive. The short description should contain brief information
N:   about what the program is for to aid in searching with apropos and
N:   similar programs.
N:   
N:   If this manpage was generated by help2man, use the -n option to
N:   provide a more meaningful description.
N:   
N:   Severity: normal; Certainty: certain
N:
W: mumpot: manpage-has-useless-whatis-entry usr/share/man/man1/get_maprect.1.gz
W: mumpot: manpage-has-useless-whatis-entry usr/share/man/man1/mumpot.1.gz
W: mumpot: manpage-has-useless-whatis-entry usr/share/man/man1/osm2places.1.gz
W: mumpot: manpage-has-useless-whatis-entry usr/share/man/man1/simplify-gps.1.gz

And how about having one binary and a GUI that lets you switch between
the different maps and styles? Maybe even with large finger-compatible
buttons that show (statically) how the maps look like? It would make it
easer to add a .desktop file (because now, one would either have to add
many, or make a random selection).

Greetings,
Joachim
