I'll have to edit the src/Makefile(|.in) to delete it's install: section, which leads to an error (attempt to access my own arborescence while building). 2. It could be forgotten if some day graphthing relies on plugin or whatever, and then need some plugin installation... I think that I'll prefer a patch stored in debian/, neither irritating for you nor for other platforms, and if one day it does not apply, I'll have a look to the install: section in the Makefiles. Your thoughts? :) -- Cyril
