Hi.  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)?

Ben.
