I know.  I've had many of my users requesting exactly the same thing as 
well and I've been pursuing this for months now and when I got a 
'bdist_deb' working with stdeb I knew I was getting close.  It just 
needs a little more tweeking and I think we'll have it.  Let's wait and 
see what Andrew says here.
