First of all I must say that I am not an official Debian Developer, but I want
to get in touch with official Debian Developers in the near future, to propose
my package in the official repositories.
I agree I should include the recommended dependencies (ICU and Gcrypt), and I
will do so in a new version of the package. The reason for not building with
this dependencies is that lately I was creating a minimal version for an
embedded device that had no such dependencies.

Ok, in the new version of the package I will consider this. At first I'll put
these binaries in the package libcppcms1-dev (but I have to review the Debian
Policy).

I have to review the policy of Debian on this, although it is clear that if the
library has entity itself, it should be in another package. Another thing is
that currently is only used in conjunction with CppCMS, and could be separated
in the future as another package, if necessary.

I really don't know: from what I know, most Debian packagers have their own
tree with the "debian" directory, and the original software does not contain
this, but if someone wants to build a Debian package from the latest version of
the software in the repository, it will be easy if they already have available
these files directly en the official SVN distribution.
I leave to you the decision on this.

Thanks for your words of support for my work, that encourages me to continue to
support and assist wherever possible to this great software. Thanks to you,
Artyom, for sharing this as free software with everyone.
