Steve,

I completely understand not including tsql, I'm generally in
agreement.  My question is, when someone has a configuration problem
and comes to the list and we say "run tsql with these switches and see
what you get", what are their options?  Rebuilding from source kind of
defeats the whole point of having a binary package.  Would a
freetds-debugtools.deb make sense?
