Greg:

Sorry, I am still, in many ways a Debian newbie. There must be some 
process whereby Sword front-ends and the back-end (e.g., libsword-utils) 
get into the packages. I have read somewhat on "package maintainers" and 
understand that they can be developers of the package they maintain. Is 
that correct, or do I recall falsely?

The audience of my request was the front-end developers and the 
utilities developers. Am I missing something here? I would appreciate 
some help if so.

Many thanks.

Tom

Great News!
God created you, owns you and gave you commands to obey.
You have disobeyed God - as your conscience very well attests to you.
God's holiness and justice compel Him to punish you in Hell.
Jesus Christ became Man, was crucified, buried and rose from the dead
as a substitute for all who trust in Him, redeeming them from Hell.
If you repent (turn from your sin) and believe (trust) in Jesus Christ,
you will go to Heaven. Otherwise you will go to Hell.
Warning! Good works are a result, not cause, of saving trust.
