Huh? That's just not true. You can make a package all on your own, no problem at all. Look at <http://www.us.debian.org/devel/>, most relevant documentation is linked from there. Ask anybody on pretty much any IRC channel or mailing list about Debian, and somebody will point you probably to the debian-mentors mailing list. In my experience, if you have actual packaging problems you will get answers. (your question about HDAPS got you two offers of help - I didn't research if I found any later results, but to me that looked not too bad.) Packaging is hard work, and you'll have to learn a lot, but you can do everything you need except actually upload the package. Only in the end will you need a DD to do the upload. cheers -- vbi
