in debian/control Buils-Depends : replace gnustep-gui0-dev bu libgnustep=
-gui0-dev
(Everybody should do that for every GNUstep apps in debian)

Note that /usr/lib/GNUstep/System/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh is a symlink that=
 points to /usr/lib/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
I think upstream will remove this symlink in the future, so it is better=
 to use the real path.

Don't forget to provide wrappers to avoid the FHS RC bug:
ln -s /usr/bin/gnustep-app-wrapper /usr/bin/TextEdit

For open tool, remenber you cannot add an open command in /usr/bin excep=
t if you want to conflict with console-tool and kbd packages.
