Hamish: can you help regarding this question ?

The reason (I think) is because it is already installed in examples dir.

Btw, what is the document nc.pdf in geda-symbols for ?!

Hamish, I also need help regarding the following:

1) Peter did the following change in calling dh_makeshlibs:

  Fix dependancy of >= $UPSTREAM_VERSION to match the exact debian 
  version of libgeda which was built with this source package.

  I was talking with Peter today, and he said about this:

  "Something did seem wrong with the resulting packages though - as it
  required a dist-upgrade to remove the old version of libgeda, and for
  the new install to proceed Presumably the old version of
  libgeda-common should be replaced successfully with a new
  libgeda-common, the old libgeda33 or whatever should remain until the
  old geda-* are replaced - at which point libgeda33, unused..  is
  removed"

2) geda-gaf is actually based on your work on the different geda-* 
   packages, so how to mention that (both in copyright & changelog 
   files) ?
