Heehee.... The XML is automatically generated using
bash scripts :) Altering it to suit the FDP shouldn't
be too difficult. I've created deb, rpm, slack,
tarball and lsb packages a few days ago. I've only
tested the deb package. That seems to work ok. Not too
sure about the rest though since they were also
auto-generated via 'alien'.
