You are the Debian maintainer? Great to have you on this list! I love
Debian :) (Although I never get to use its Allegro packages, having
several CVS and release candidate versions installed already.) I
remember, some years ago someone else was the Debian maintainer for
Allegro, don't recall the name though.

Anyway, I have nothing useful to say in this post..
