As I wrote before, I will soon create a 'gambas-package-config' project 
that will generate the specification files more or less automatically 
from internal templates.

I hope then to find other people that will help maintaining these 
templates, because I know only (and not entirely) Ubuntu specifications 
files (which are the Debian ones with Ubuntu dependencies).

So, gbWilly, you will be welcome to update the Debian files as soon as 
you find errors in it.
