Debian generally deals with internal updater systems by disabling them, so they don't stop packaging from being added.

HamClock has another weird thing according to Debian folks; you have to compile a new binary for each display resolution you want.

I will probably get around the size issue by packaging each size separately. I'll probably make them all conflict with each other to prevent confusing situations with multiple HamClocks.

HamClock is now in the AUR. The packages are hamclock, hamclock-big, hamclock-bigger, and hamclock-huge.
