We should be careful as regards licensing issues.  If there is any
doubt about a component's compliance with the DFSG, then this component
must be dropped form the .deb and the .orig.tar.gz files.

Thanks for the face-lifting of the jed-extra package.  It was mostly
needed and I really appreciate your effort.  I just committed such
improvements to the patch, mainly ot make it Lintian-clean.  We still
have this Lintian warning:

W: jed-extra: unusual-interpreter ./usr/share/jed/site-lib/calendar.sl #!slsh

The package build correctly, but intallation fails with the following
error message:

Setting up jed-extra (1.2-1) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/jed-init.d/05home-lib.sl ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/jed-init.d/50jed-extra.sl ...

I notice that you hardwired the version number in
debian/build-orig.tar_gz.  What about giving the version mumber as an
argument to the script?

Another question:  did you follow the rule for the version number as
specified in debian/README.Debian?

a2ps/slang.ssh seems to be more up-to-date than
apsmode/apsconf/SLang.ssh.  I would drop the later.

I think that the *.hlp must be in the path, in order to help.sl to work.

This is a good question.  I think that when I designed the jed
initialization scheme for Debian, I followed the ideas in emacsen-common,
which have intiialization files in /etc/emacs/site-start.d/.  I think
that the reason for having them in /etc is because these files change the
standard behavior of jed and the system administrator must have a way to
change them as configuration files.

I am not sure though that this is the right thing to do.
