Comment 17 for bug 162984

When I build the debs, I'm not given an option to specify 'Conflicts:'
Do you have any idea where that goes?

These are the instructions that I have to build the debs. Please note
that the last step is where I set up the name and version number
information.

./configure --prefix=/usr Prepare the files necessary to compile the
theme
make Compile the theme
sudo checkinstall --fstrans=no --install=no Check and make sure that
all is okay. This will also create a .deb file

Thanks,
