Not really.  Not if we could use the compile farm.  (Assuming the farm
would be upgraded to include Debian.)  Then a single script could
build packages for all major distributions.

ssh linux.compile.sourceforge.net
cd print
cvs update
./build_packages
ls

Of course, someone would need to write the "build_packages" script, but
it wouldn't be that difficult to do.
