Can you explain why do you patch the original sources?

1) You removed the compilation of examples at installation. Not dramatic, but 
why?

2) You replaced 'gbr' by 'gbx' in the interpreter and compiler source code! 
This is problematic: it breaks the interpreter behaviour, and it prevents 
Gambas program made outside of Debian from working on Debian. 

Not a good idea IMHO...
