Did you create your package as a multiple source package?

Do you like the multiple source approach? Why is comedi_calibrate a separate source? Can you please add some command line parameter that makes configure not search for libcomedi.so while configuring comedi_calibrate? Then I don't have to patch configure. Patching configure is a bad habit since the configure scripts can be regenerated and then the patch doesn't work anymore. There are dependencies on unnecessary libraries. Is it possible/easy to fix that before the release? Regards Gudjon
