Done.

OK.  I built with

	cvs-buildpackage -rfakeroot -Pmlton -V20020929.1 -W/home/sweeks/mlton/build -Ton-20020929-release -us -uc

>  - make sure the generated packages pass lintian

I get the following warnings, and no errors, so I figure I'm OK.

W: mlton: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/lib/mlton/mlton-compile /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
W: mlton: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/mllex /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
W: mlton: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/mlprof /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
W: mlton: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/mlyacc /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
W: mlton: link-to-undocumented-manpage usr/share/man/man1/mllex.1.gz
W: mlton: link-to-undocumented-manpage usr/share/man/man1/mlyacc.1.gz

I understand the man pages, but I have no idea why I'm getting the
rpath thing.  Anyone else have any ideas?

They're under 20020929 at

Although this approach of having me upload and then you sign seems to
kind of defeat the whole purpose of having you sign them, since they
could have been modified while in transit from me to you.  And, it
differs from what is recommended in
