Thanks for this.

A couple of questions/comments:

 *) Could you update the patch to use autotools-package and
 host-autotools-package in accordance with the latest package
 infrastructure changes?

 *) Could you add your Signed-off by line?

 *) The complete Erlang stuff gets installed in /usr/lib/erlang, even
 the binaries (compiler, interpreter?) in /usr/lib/erlang/bin/. Is this
 the normal installation location? If so, then we should at least
 probably provide a few symlinks from /usr/bin/.

 *) By default the /usr/lib/erlang/ size is 55 MB on ARM. Is this the
 minimal size of the standard library?

 *) From the configure.in script, I see options like shared-zlib, or
 ssl path or things like that, but your erlang package does not depend
 on zlib nor OpenSSL. Can you give a few comments about this?

Thanks!

Thomas
