1.2.18, took the package from the "sourceforge" page, according to our
docs, I assume this means the upstream .deb.

No, the opposite: no templates dir in /usr/share/ledgersmb/templates,
and only one in /etc/ledgersmb/templates. I had the templates path set
to "templates" in my ledgersmb.conf, but then ledger would look in
/usr/share/ledgersmb/templates and fail to find it.

Ok. I was under the understanding that 1.2 would never be uploaded so I
didn't see the point too much.

Well, if that's the case, should we just upload 1.2 to the archive and
provide an upgrade path?

It would really be nice to have ledgersmb in the archive instead of,
each of us, having to build the package from bits and pieces all over
the place...

Thanks,
