Sorry, but there seems to be a misunderstanding (probably due to my
language skills). So let me clarify:

I volunteered to help packaging if the release would have taken
long. Now that it is out, it will be packaged by Debian anyway, isn't
it. But if there is a lack of man power, I would try to contribute.

I never critized you build system. The simpler, the better. What I
recalled was that in one of the third party grids, it would help to
put some missing libs into the pkg-config files. It turns out that
this was ALUGrid, though. Nevertheless, I think that opening read
access to repository is a very nice thing. Thanks a lot for this.

I am sorry if I offended you in any way. Alberta is a great software
and it has been in Debian for a very long time, which made it very
easy to use it.

Regards,

Markus
