arla Debian package

[Harald Barth]

Because of the nature of xfs.o (one for each kernel) it might be
easier to depend it on C devel or something and build it instead of
distributing it. If you have a kth-krb4 installed (which does not
build out of the box all times because of small problems at the
linking stage with libdbm), building your arla is easier than finding
the correct xfs.o, because you have to have quite a few lying around:

number of arch according to web: (i386, sparc, alfa ...): 6

number of kernels - I found at least the following
as kernel packages: 2.2.10 2.2.12 2.2.15 2.2.17 2.0.36: 5

SMP or not: 2

So we are talking about 60 packages here. Before I get shot, I want
just tell you that I exaggerate just to make a point. In addition,
releases have been quite frequent lately.

Did you say dot_twenty_four? 0.24 is of early 1999. Please tell me
that that is a typo :-)
