As the koffice debian maintainer, I hope I can help. :) The files in debian/ for koffice-1.1-beta1 are the files that were used to package a cvs shapshot from April 4. Since then many things have moved and changed; I was concentrating on getting the problems ironed out from the beta1 packages before doing a commit, at which point hopefully the beta2 and final releases will be much smoother. I have just committed all the changes thus far; what you will see now in the CVS is what was used to create the koffice-1.1-beta1-1 packages that have just now hit the FTP servers (it took a week because of the addition/reincarnation of package kformula, which requires the FTP admins to edit the package listing). Nevertheless, please be aware that more changes are happening, in particular wrt getting the HTML docs into the packages, cleaning up miscellaneous stuff and hopefully getting the kivio connector tool working should a solution surface. Furthermore, this is all for the unstable debian branch. Porting the packaging to potato/stable is causing a fair amount of hassle. We're all working on this issue for a variety of KDE packages; I'll post again with further details when available. Btw, why are you compiling your own debian packages? Why not use the prebuilt ones from ftp.debian.org (unstable) or kde.debian.net (stable/testing)?
