Thank you Dale,

that's exactly the problem I have mentioned in that other e-mail
to Dirk.
It's a problem in the current *.deb
and I've now found the culprit:  debian/rules has explicitly set
the directory without a trailing '/'

I have now changed that (svn rev 3916).
Dirk, could you build a new *.deb file for Dale to try?

Martin
