Ahh. Isaac had checked the Alpha builds and noticed that too.

Yes, my source-only build invocation must have missed the pre-clean
switch.

Great, we appreciate the effort of getting it into the 9.10 beta!  It should
be there.

Concretely, we are talking about
 - support for libreadline-dev (to get libreadline6)
 - support for dpkg triggers (hence the dpkg >= requirement)

I agree. My short-term convenience should not matter. I can always rebuild on
Jaunty.

So that would mean another ~ppa$X upload, right?

Dirk, out of town at the kid's soccer tournament but with ssh access
