That's what I'm looking for: making the package part of the distro, so
it can be maintained with apt.
PCLOS has the package in question in their repos, and I am hoping that
Ubuntu will do the same. I made a request, but, if I must do the
packaging myself, I will.
I haven't had time to get around to fully understanding that yet, but,
I'm working on it...
