this is my fault, i thought i could spare the manual yielding of 
debian/control by adding it to the clean target in debian/rules. 
instead, i will have to use a svn-buildpackage pre-built hook to call 
the debian/control target. i will correct it later this evening and 
re-submit then.

well, here frankie can probably answer best ...

>>> debian/aolserver4-xotcl.substvars

though the idea is to obtain the version and abi numbers from
a makefile fragment provided by aolserver4-dev and not within the same 
package (e.g., aolserver4-xotcl).

sorry for the inconvenience,
