The GTK frontend is a mp3-algorithm debugging frontend. IIRC there's a
configure option to disable it, so I'm a little bit puzzled why you
need to remove it from configure.in.

The Makefiles are there so that our release-tarball contains the debian
directory (auto* magic) and everyone can create a debian package. If
you (as the debian project) tell that this is not necessary anymore
(because you will take care about it like I do it in the FreeBSD
package system), we can either remove the makefiles, or the
complete debian directory. What's the best way in your opinion?

Bye,
Alexander.
