OK, seems we have good chances considering the progress we made in SVN.
The remaining issues are:

    1. Renaming *.pl files
       Lintian warns about files /usr/bin/*.pl (script-with-language-extension)
       and normally it would be cheap to rename these but in this specific
       case we have a binary map and a script map.pl and thus we can only
       have one of them names maq.

       Moreover I'm absolutely unclear about the role these *.pl files
       are playing.  They are not documented and I wonder whether they
       should be put into /usr/share/maq while adapting the path apropriately.
       But no *.c file seems to refer to any of these scripts and the
       assumption that maq binary is calling the scripts seems to be
       wrong.

       Another question is why only half of the scripts are installed
       by Makefile.am:bin_SCRIPTS ...

    2. Documenting Perl scripts
       We have some binary-without-manpage warnigs and I would like to
       remove these - but as I mentioned above I have no idea what these
       scripts are doing.  SO I feel unable to write a reasonable man
       page.

Is this solved now by the Build-Depends I used according to the hint
on debian-devel?

Kind regards

         Andreas.
