I'm really glad someone picked this up, so I'm indeed quite interested
in long-term sponsoring of this package as long as it's needed. Thanks
already for all your work!

However, I noticed the previous two uploads have been signed by
different DDs. Quite often people sponsoring a package will also sponsor
further updates, so you won't need to ask again for a new sponsor. I
take it they were doing (for one reason or another) some one-shot
sponsoring? Just wondering...

lintian 1.23.34, when run against my _i386.changes, reports otherwise.
Well, the one repeated warning (partially-translated-question) isn't
severe at all in this case, but you should take a look at the
informational tags as well (lintian --display-info ...changes),
especially possible-non-posix-code-in-maintainer-script.

Hmmm, I don't know how serious the issue with NV-GLX and DGA is, but
I'd recommend documenting how to use XAWTV_USE_DGA for the end-user
before shipping your xawtv.sh as a wrapper. Then I'll gladly sponsor
your packaging, and on to further updates. :)

Cheers,
Flo
