Clint,
Sorry for the delayed reply, but I was away from my computers for several days.

|

This mirror is maintained by Christian Steigies to whom I forward this. I
only use testing/unstable myself and cannot help you with this. But for
broader exposure, I'll CC the r-sig-debian list where someone may have the
pertinent pointer.
Best regards, Dirk
