heh ok, I hope it's nothing awful :) Get well soon!

ok, thanks for the hint. I will see what to do once I reach this
point. Perhaps I can convince upstream to remove the dependency :)

packaging libframeworkd-phonegui is no problem, since it has almost
no dependencies, so I will package it too, hoping they will update
-gtk at some time :)

no problem, I want to have this in Debian myself and got feedback
from some guys I know, that they are waiting for this, too.

by the way - I've got problems putting libphone-utils into pkg-fso
feed: 'process_incoming' returns the following output:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
No distribution accepting 'libphone-utils_0.1+git20090801-1_amd64.changes'!
There have been errors!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't see any reason for not accepting the package and there is no
error reported. Can you please give me a hint?
