Yes, I assumed as much.  I also want to make a separate package of latest=20
version of kttsd for users with older versions of KDE (3.2 and above).

A couple of people have responded on Kalyxo-devel mailing list:

1.  Apparently I must put .mo files into my .install file.  The thing that=20
confuses me is I don''t see such files in any of the .install files
in=20
existing debian directories in kde CVS.  Are these directories even used=20
anymore?

2.  Packaging of handbooks separately is my option.

3.  Someone suggested using CDBS.  I did, and it seems to work well for me,=20
but didn''t really help with i18n issues.

Hi Gary. I''m CC''ing to a list where some Debian guys talk
about packaging=20
KDE. ;-)

I''ve never built a multibinary package, but AFAIK, yes. Take a look at
the=20
manual page of dh_install.

No. But if there is a lot of platform independent data (e.g., files=20
in /usr/share), you can consider splitting the package in foo and foo-data=20
(or foo-common). This way, foo can be ''architecture: any'', and
foo-data=20
''architecture: all'', and a bit of space can be saved.

Best regards.

Hi Gary, AFAIK kttsd is officially accepted in kdeaccesibility so we will
also=20
package it (with translations) as soon as KDE 3.4 is released.
