Great work! It runs without any problems.


I have only two technical questions to the bash script itself:

1. What is the meaning of the syntax in WORKDIR=${1:-~/projects}?
Normally I would use WORKDIR=~/projects without the braces stuff...

2. Why do you check for $DEBNAME and $DEBEMAIL? Are there some
situations where these variables are defined by default?


Greetings, Carsten
