Furthermore the 4.01 interpreter doesn't seem to be in the Package list.
And why did Ghostscript get moved to non-free in 4.01 from

Could these problems have been cause by debian.org moving to a new

Here are some packages that I have released in the last month or so but

I suppose that's because a `-' is used in most other places, gnu for
example.
Why does dpkg-source not simply change those names so that they work? Who
can remember all these detail. The orig.tar.gz name is already artificial
and not original. The original archive uses capital letters that debian
does not like very much.
And why does it work for the debianized directory?
