I have a few questions about the building and installation procedures. These
because for Debian I will need to split the package into several smaller
ones (so, eg I can provide the java bindings, but not force the
installation of a java virtual machine for anyone who wants to use csound),
Debian is rather picky on what stuff gets installed where, and because I
would like to provide the most functionality.
So, here go the questions

1) What are the differences between the new and old parsers? I see the notes
   on To-fix-and-do, but these are technical notes that don't mean much
   without knowledge of the internals.

2) Should I use install.py, scons install=1 or both? These two install
   different stuff, and neither is a subset of the other.

3) What are the java bindings composed of? I see csnd.jar installed, but I
   assume that it needs a library to actually run. Is it libcsnd.so? Does it 
   need anything else?

4) Most stuff installed under /usr/lib doesn't have a SONAME. Is this 
   because they are plugins, or is there another reason?

The new parser is not yet fully functional.  I have it on my list to
add the missing things.  I suggest that you use the old parser at
least for 5.06

Are yes!  There is also the Debian package building code in
installer/misc
