Well, all I wanted to tell Flavio was, that the suggested package "fglrx-amdcccle" created by the ati-installer is empty. So when he prepares the packages for Debian, he should have a look, which files are considered for this package and not blindly copy your work. I do not expect him to fix bugs in the ati-installer itself. There are a lot more bugs in the Debian packages you provide. Simply run lintian/linda and you will see a bunch of (partly) easily fixable issues.
I see, I misunderstood you. I haven't checked the Debian packages with lintian in a while, probably should do that sometime soon :) Thanks for the reminder.

I know, I read the bug reports and the workarounds and Flavios comment about the license issue with the workaround. All I wanted to say is, that the release notes do not fit, what the ati-installer ships. This is also just a FYI-information for the bug-readers and not a hint to Flavio to fix the ati-installer. But it was thought to be a hint for you. That's the reason, why I BCCed you in my answer to the BTS.
No problem. Although I do not control the release notes, I can/should update the ones in the Debian packages.
BTW: Are you part of the ATI Linux Driver team? I'm planning to hand over the fglrx-manpages to ATI now, because of lack of time. So if you are part of this team or have contact to it's leader (Matthew Tippett?), I would kindly ask you to tell him and that he should contact me.
I do not work for AMD, but am on the the beta tester list. You can contact Matthew directly, he is not adverse to people contacting him for such things. However if you prefer I will mention your manpages on the beta-tester mailing list. On the similar subject, would you mind if I used your manpages in the Ubuntu and Debian packages that the installer generates?
