They don't allow for exceptions to be made for *Debian* packages.
That is
why I created my own GNUstep repository for GNUstep stuff which
installs in
sensible locations.
If you're running Debian sarge (might work with woody, never bothered
to try):
All you gotta do is add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://simplygnustep.sourceforge.net/Packages/
binary-i386/
deb-src http://simplygnustep.sourceforge.net/Packages/ source/
Do an "apt-get update"
and then a "apt-get install sgstep-meta-user"
and "apt-get install sgstep-meta-developer"
there are also games:
"apt-get install sgstep-meta-games"
It's that easy.
