       Until I see some info about the issues I'm seeing with the v1.9
archives, I'm not going to work on the v1.9 versions.   I do plan, however, to
see about refreshing the old v1.4 versions...

   Hmm...  Thought something had already been written up about the debian
builds;   but if not and if no one else does it, along with creating the
packages I'll see about writing something up to do a build of them...

      Well, in general;  debian packages are not that way...  For the packages
I do, the only issue there might be is for an application that is wants to
be installed in /opt...  (Not acceptable in Debian itself, but of course
other debian package builds can be done that way...)
      And I don't think the existing Husky debian packages (v1.4) had any such
issues...  (Something I'll be looking at when I look at updating the
existing packages...)

/usr/local

   Neither should a debian package...   (Haven't we discussed this same issue
regarding another program?)
