Patrice: Thanks for your comment. Please don't confuse unstable with innovative.
If there are any things that work better in "unstable" that you miss in etch
version, feel free to tell me, I'd gladly either backport the patch or move to
unstable branch.

Also, I didn't notice that MAKEDEV does reside in /sbin as I include sbin also
in my regular path. I also built in mock, which also seems to includ /sbin in
PATH. I'll fix that do say either /sbin/MAKEDEV or /dev/MAKEDEV in next
revision. Which one do you suggest?

When it comes to FHS, I've already considered that. Here's what FHS says:

> /usr/lib includes object files, libraries, and internal binaries that are not
> intended to be executed directly by users or shell scripts. [22]

Only these two files don't comply: /usr/lib/debootstrap/arch and
/usr/lib/debootstrap/devices.tar.gz. I've choosen to leave them in /usr/lib do
avoid deviation from the upstream. If there are still strong objection against
this I will move them to /usr/share instead.

Though I found no particular bits in your package that I'd find usable for this
one, I'd be glad if you comaintained the package once it is approved.

I'll spin updated packages once I get feedback on the outstanding questions.
