I should be able to build Debian Squeeze package (at least for 32 bit
arch, but hopefully also for 64 bit). And a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as well.
I am hoping that just grabbing the raring source package and running
the build command on it on different installations should be enough...
It just might take until Friday before I have time to do this.
