Nice.

I would prefer the first one, too. But for me both would be fine.

I am really in testing phase right now. Still have to get used to
git-buildpackage and a really distributed workflow (my typical git usage
was more cvs/svn-like so far).

The git repository is testing ground at the moment (added some small
changes to build on lenny and using ccache).

Only one commit might be interesting so far:

commit 68fd8e6c5aab22d394ad5097837476e5ae79222f

    slibcat fixes
    
    build slibcat in place and include it in the package.

Maybe I should have used a branch for the lenny stuff - or do you want
the package to build on lenny, too?

Thanks, for the nice quick-start guide.
Greetings,
Jens
