Hi!
As a result of a recent discussion on this list, I started to prepare a
package[1] that will hopefully make it easier and more straightforward
to use the executable debhelper files introduces in 8.9.12.

Hi all,
last week I did an upload of the current version 3.2.3 libnl3 to experimental.
Libnl >= 3.2 is for example necessary for network-manager.
Beginning from 3.2 upstream changed the soname changed from libnl3 to

Wow, if this sort of bug report is re-evoking questions on the whole

Dear Debian/Hurd, GNU/Hurd and Debian-devel people. This arrived today.
Any ideas on how to proceed? Is it possible to create a Hurd-specific

especially helpful. As far as I can tell, it is not especially
