The reason why there is a Debian gpm maintainer is that in Debion every
single package has a person who maintains that package, and each
maintainer is a Debian developer, helps a /LOT/ in the way of quality of
packages.

However yes, currently I have a lot of Debian specific patches because I
only found out a week or so ago that it was actively maintained again.

I'll update the patches to apply to the current gpm sources and  send
them along as soon as I get time, hopefully in the next week or so.

I'm not a cat person, but I can just imagine the reaction of your
average feline to someone's attempt to stuff it into a pair of
pajamas.

Now picture your hard disk after the thing installs.
