[postgis] anyone tried packaging for debian?

[Paul Ramsey]

Binary RPMs can be a bit of a distribution nightmare with the different
flavours of Linux around. libc compatibilities are the most noticable
problem for me, since I have a recent version of Mandrake to compile on.
That means I always tend to be compiling against the latest/greatest
libc, which is fine for me and my mandrake brethren but not so good for
people running earlier Red Hats (or even Mandrake 7). If you would like
binary mandrake 8 RPMS I can build them for you though.
