Cooool! I mean Python. Getting dpkg to work was main priority so we have
little trouble building packages. If you know of any problems with dpkg (or
someone else), let me know immediately.

Yes! I was going to try tkl/tc, but was delayed. Now I can put it off my
TODO list. We need it to build XFSetup, too! (This is the single circular
dependency in the X packages, that is why tcl/tk is so important for us).
As usual, if there are packages that build completely unmodified, let me
know, so I can it add to the list for the autobuilder. Also, the Hurd should
not crash inbetween (which it unfortunately does on some big packages).
Thanks,
Marcus
