Okay, I merged your NMU etc. One question. I didn't understand this:
> It seems I should have added symlink in debian/rules as > cd debian/fossil/usr/share/bash-completion/completions; \ > ln -sf fossil f > to make it work in the first invocation. and couldn't find documentation about adding such a link. So I skipped it, in case there was a typo or some such. But if you could explain, or even better send a pointer, I'd appreciate it. Cheers, --Barak.
