Thanks, and you're certainly welcome, though I *am* definitely running
behind.

You have good points, but let's wait until I get the debian/* files
into CVS and finish packaging.  At that point we can talk about it.

As an example concern, note that during a development series, the
major number of the shared libs may change (or may *not* change when
they should), so I want to be a little cautious about uploading
development packages where other debian developers might grab it and
install the -dev package without realizing the implications, and then
start building/uploading their own guile-dependent packages.  This may
not be a big deal, but I'll need to think about it.

The main resource right now is workbook/tasks/TODO, but it only has a
few items at a moment.

That's a good question -- for my initial debian packages, I'm probably
only going to allow one set of development files to be installed at a
time...
