Thanks, I hope, it is working.

All the packages are signed by me. I added some more comments.

I added more detailed description, thanks for the hint.

Well, when I started the project, I simply compiled the packages for
myself, and while I was doing it, I simply setup the repository, so
others can use the packages too.

I never did any big improvements of the original debian files. I just
change the debian/control and debian/changelog files, so it matches
actual versions of all required libraries.

Since your are not first, how is asking me this question, I start to
think about it. I'll contact the ubuntu/debian-gis people and ask them,
if there is something I could do, to get fresh packages for ubuntu (and
debian) ready earlier, then they are provided now.

I tried to get Thuban running several times on ubuntu, but I never
succeeded. I wanted to ask the Intevation people, if they could help,
but since now - no time :-)

I'm sending diff of the debian directory attached and this is, what I
get:

jachym at mellon:/usr/src/gis/thuban$ sudo dpkg -i thuban_1.2.0-1_i386.deb 
Selecting previously deselected package thuban.

any hint?
