Dear Squeakers,

Would you mind creating link to

	http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/3616

from the official Squeak download page

	http://www.squeak.org/Download/

I mean, not among "Other" but as "Debian GNU/Linux" on par with Mac
and Windows. The "Other" category seems to be just a lump of files
with a "good luck with installation" whereas the Debian repository
is a decent way of installing software on Debian (you know,
metainformation attached to the distributed files such as depends
(with version constraints), build depends, provides, conflicts with,
sharing common components, pre/post installation/removal actions and
such).

Objections against this might be rational if the packages were in a
bad state (I think they are not) but if noone finds them, I will
hardly see any complaints or feedback.

There are people who have reasons to prefer Debian GNU/Linux over
Mac or Windows and these packages are for them.

Let me know what you think.

Regards
