No, not any particular reason, except this D*X!@&*M dh_movefiles is
driving me CRAZY! Really that module will be the first one to be lined
up on the wall when the revolution comes.

Let me tell you, it is painfull. If you change the package names, the
debian/package-name.files and .dirs goes crazy, as well as the

Great. I hope that it is not too much out of synch with you.

That is fine, we are going to have to redo all the packages when we are
done. But belive me, with better tools.

To be honest, we need to get all these debian packages, and collect all
the rules, the libtools, the auto* and merge them into one big package.
I am even thinking about disolving the entire thing into one HUGE
blob.... but not yet.

you are using debian? (Unstable/sid?)
Dont worry, just upgrade.

apt-get update 
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get upgrade 
 
or just reinstall gnome,
apt-get remove gnome
apt-get install gnome

that will get the newest gnome stuff, I have to do that once in a
while.
