Pointless.
system-config-cluster is only useful with version < 2.x of cluster. For newer 
versions you need conga.

When I started packaging the suite in Ubuntu, Debian had the same but splitted 
in many different sources. With time I assume Waldi concluded (like I did) that 
it was not worth the effort to maintain them in separated mini packages.

AFAIK Waldi tracks releases very closely (didn't check tho and I might be wrong) 
while I do track CVS snapshots since I am also upstream.

Tho I still don't understand why there is so much fuzz about having 2 different 
source names. It's not the end of the world.
