+I'd like to have a Debian/Ubuntu package of the latest git-annex (f.e. to have it installed systemwide). In the source I can find the debian/ folder with all needed information to build the package. But it looks like I don't have all needed dependencies on my Ubuntu 12.10:

+How can I build the package? Or would it be possible for you to build the package and add it to the "Install" page (like the prebuilt linux tarball)? That would be great!

+Cheers and thanks for the hard work,
