Yeah, it is. But with Debian people are more used to typing "apt-get
install eally_cool_app" :) Source is nifty, but Debians package
management system makes secuity upgrades (expecially) a snap without
having to closely watch BugTraq and vunl-dev all day.

The name change was suggested, I believe. The request not to include it I
don't mind, it's the implied 'threat' (sorry Gav :) that if you do release
binaries they will change the license to prevent that. And I really don't
see why. I can understand that they might believe it takes away there
market share, but arn't they already doing that by having the source
available in the first place?  *shakes his head*
