Hi Reinhard,

I would like to build on previous packaging
effort for mma.

Clearly, mma couldn't have been packaged without
a changelog. Do you know where to find it?

I would hope there is another location for these files
than the package itself. Mma's package control.tar.gz only contains

	control
	md5sums
	mmadebian
	postinst
	prerm

For example, a different package I maintain has these
files in the debian/ directory.

	changelog
	compat
	control
	copyright
	files
	patches
	rules
	source
	watch

So my question is where can I find the
original files used to create this debian package?

Thanks for your help.

Joel
