I have added you to the team somewhere around 22:00 (+0200).  This means that
it'll take a bit longer for the Subversion permissions to sync, probably
somewhere today.

Welcome to the team :)

The main issue we had with the old one was that it was confusing vendor
installs with site installs.  Obviously for Debian pkgs we use the
vendor mode with prefix /usr.  However, because mkmf (mkfm-gnome2
actually) use some odd variable expanding, we had to override all site*
paths in our class to prevent it from installing in /usr/local.  I might
not be completely right about all this, Esteban took care of it and I
know it was a pain ;)

Kind regards,

Paul
