Just a little reminder, I looked at the packages the first time they
were packaged and there were some minor issues (package naming, one
postinstall script was not 100%), now I checked the fixed packages and
all looks good. Peter Ring asked some questions regarding the
packaging style but I think this belongs to the maintainer to explain
why she has packaged the stuff like she did.
Lets put it up to sources and let the users find some buggs;)
