Hopefully.  ;-)  [As long as there's a hint to the script in the README.Debian 
file which gives the necessary information as to how to get the package 
working and one knows to read it, then I think it should work out.  Early on 
users may not know to look for the documentation in /usr/share/doc/<package> 
and there doesn't seem to be a good way of fixing that.]

Thanks.  :-)
Likewise thank you very much for maintaining PmWiki.



I have a minor question concerning the current pmwiki tarball.

The tarball currently contains an empty directory "pub/css" which the Debian  
package checker (Lintian) complains about, specifically because it's empty.  
I'm assuming pub/css is a "placeholder" directory to give a PmWiki user a hint 
as to where to place their own CSS files if desired.  Is that correct?

Lintian also complains that the pmwiki tarball is not GPG/PGP signed.  This 
isn't a requirement, but if the tarball were GPG/PGP signed there'd be a way 
of verifying that the tarball had not been modified (and this can be set up in 
the Debian package to be done automatically), so I'm mentioning it as 
"something for future consideration". 


Thanks much.
