It reflects the svn Version, but i only build it about once a week. And only 
if everything compiles and all tests runn cleanly.

I know. If everything goes well we plan to create a pre5 these weeks ...

But for now you could also try create your own debian packages as described in 
the other mail ...

Great!!

Your Full Manual sounds great. Maybe we can simply rename it and create two 
seperate ones. So we would end up with two HOWTO files:
	- Install with plain compile and download
	- Install from debian repository

I/we can even modify the dependencies in the debian package to reflect ubuntu 
and debian. Sometimes the naming of the packages is slightly different.
