Not sure. I wanted to contact Michael Meeks first about a couple of
things. He has not made an official release yet, and there have been
changes since I made an archive of the bootchart2 git tree. The orig
tarball which the prototype packages are based on do not reflect that it
is a git snapshot, and they 'fake' a version number to be larger than that
of the existing bootchart package.

To be honest, it does not interest me at all. But I can imagine it might
be nice to use the same bootchart package for a Lenny vs Squeeze
comparison study.

I'd prefer to keep using the override_dh_<command> feature of newer
debhelper versions, replicating them with old debian/rules constructs is
tedious.

btw, lenny-backborts has a nice recent version of debehlper in it.

Thanks, Kel.
