Hi Markus,

I've been thinking about Justus' suggestion to split the Debian package 
into server and client.  You clearly anticipate such an eventuality with 
the 'disable-[server|clients]' configure flags.  Most of the machinery, 
in fact, is already available to build separate packages.  I can see 
only one problem: the monolithic documentation.  It cannot be split 
during the build process.  At the moment the choice would be building 
full documentation in both, or only one, of the packages.  Both 
approaches are obviously less than perfect.

Have you considered splitting refdb's documentation into two parts -- 
able to be installed individually but, when installed together, making a 
cohesive whole?

Or perhaps there is another approach?

Regards,
David.
