Hi Thomas and Alex,

Thomas, Alex asked the following on the ubuntu-motu list[1], so I thought it 
would be best to forward it to you:

Alex, Thomas is the debian maintainer for syck, which is synced w.o. 
modification to ubuntu as of right now. As I don't have experience with the 
syck library, I think the sanest choice for Ubuntu is to follow debian 
packaging in this regard.

Cheers,
   Stefan.
