It's called "sid".  There is a ruby1.7_1.7.2.0cvs2002.01.18-1 package.
We could try that.

Okay, but as we figured, I don't need, or should, re-run swig anyway. So if
you can get hands on a reworked version, we could try a new QL snapshort of
QuantLib-Ruby. If we want it that badly which maybe we don't.

That's probably ok, especially as the fix will be forthcoming.

LaMont:  In a situation like this, is it ok if I actually prevent building
on hppa and ia64 via an explicit Architecture: tag in debian/control?
