Greetings, and thanks for your work on this! Nice website too. We
apparently share quite a few interests.
Its not clear to me why these problems don't appear in the package in
unstable.
BTW, 2 platforms left before the latest axiom release makes it into
the forthcoming Debian sarge. I may build by hand there if delays
persist. m68k just finished successfully with > 1 week build time.
Take care,
