Koen really asked whether the osso package was going to be a fork of  
the version I pointed to. The short answer is no, we are just about  
to make the osso package build from the one at our developer site,  
the reason it isn't at this moment is purely lack of time. The osso  
package will contain some small patches applied in the debian package  
but it will otherwise be the same.
