That's how it'll be done if the package doesn't get the required
votes.  In this case the present packaging would be fine, ie. it would
go under /usr/local.
The downside of this would be that users will have to satisfy the
dependencies by theirselves -- not a big trouble when compared with
having to compile the software.

Got a good "D'OH" moment out of Corinnas remark -- will fix the packaging A=
SAP.
