Very b
There are patches to a number of packages on the ftp site. 2.0 is in the
directory "hamm", you can run it if you are real brave but be sure to
find the document on how to upgrade first. It's still months from release.

I'm maintaining the figlet package. A user asked me to include the emacs
helper figlet.el in figlet. Where I must put it? It's Ok if I put it in a
emacs directory?

Would the installer script know how to set these variables?

You might be mistaking consensus for lack of interest :)
I see nothing wrong with making gzip pre-depend on libc6. It seems
to be exactly what pre-depend was made for.

This is a list of packages in the main distribution that need work to
be fully libc6-based. I base it on the Packages file at my local mirror,
so it may be a day or two out of date. If you have questions about why
a particular package is on the list, or if you think there is an error,
don't hesit
I think the policy guide is clear on how to handle emacs lisp files in
packages (it's at least got detail on how to intrude into the user's
startup with autoloads and such.) If that's not enough info, look at
psgml, or even dpkg-dev (it has debian-changelog.el and a hook to make
it autoload) as ex

That way dselect would automatically upgrade libc6 version with a libc5
based.
if a beta2-1 libc6 exists, you should

Can you explain, or refer to a bug number that explains it?
It's not very good to have incorrect instructions for shared
libraries at a time when we're doing a massive shared-library
upgrade.

A package I'm maintaining, rosegarden, has come out with dependencies on
xlib6 AND xlib6g. I didn't do this by hand, I left the "shlibs" stuff in
the control file. I would purge xlib6 from the system, but a lot of
packages I need on a daily basis need xlib6. How do I correct this?
