Usually this in not worth the effort, since the multiple binary packages are just splitting the products of the compilation for the final users to save installation space. That is, you compile all the project, which is the slower part, and then the resulting files are splitted. If you can avoid compile the parts that you are not interested in by modifying the rules file, then you can select which things get splitted by messing with the control and *install files. -- Alberto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
