Yup, I  just translated the  french text that  was there just  before, I
didn't thought about this way :)

I'll correct this.

Good remark. I'll correct this asap.

Well... This one was already packaged with the package I've got, I don't
have any idea why it is needed. I'll check this and then verify if it is
really needed (hope it is not :-) )

Oh, that's right !
I'll correct this.

Well, I didn't investigated further,  maybe is this not needed. I'll try
without and throw then this out, if not.
Or comment it, if needed :o)

How, sh*t. These  funky french keyboards on early testing Debian put
this awkward  unbreakable space  while pressing AltGt+Space...  I didn't
saw this  earlier. (Seems to have  been corrected since, at  least on my
personal desktop at  home, which is more fresh than the  one I've got at
work, it is.)

Great remark.
Anyway, I don't know why I did this way.... O_o
;)

Ok. I didn't thought it was  necessary at this state, but if you suggest
it.. ;-)

Ok

Mhmm.. because with the "fr", it makes "vfr", which is a motorbike.. ;o)
I'll throw it ;)

Mhmm... I'm not sure I understood this.. Why do you talk about uninstall ?
The  netkitftp's 'install'  rule  does installs  the  manpages with  the
binary, without ability  to call just the install  of the binary without
the manpages.
So I did like I see in other packages : just delete the 
$(TARGET_DIR)/usr/man folder... Is this a bad idea ?
What do you suggest at this stage ? 
Doing nothing, this will be cleaned later ?


With best regards,
