oh, now I checked and yes, the whole debian dir is missing! I've no 
explanation for that at the moment. make distcheck doesn't cover that, 
obviously. I will repair that. A new release shouldn't be nescessary, I 
think. I will just re-package the tar file.

No, not useful.

Good point. I will change that in CVS for the next release.

Yes, of course. But maybe should remove that step from the release 
procedure. That stupid bottle just sits there next to all the other 
bottles and does nothing! What's the point?!?
