Sorry, but I'm sad to read your answer ... You advocate abhorrent crutch
repeating over and over that the ball in front of us is cube ..

anyhow, thanks for all your activities for packman anyway, perhaps things
change one day. Maybe I should write some SDB article describing in-depth
what other alternatives than dup --from packman are available ...

best regards, daniel
