Hi Jonathan,
thanks a lot for your helpful comments! I tried to do my best to fix
the issues listed in your message. All mentioned things that could
keep a sponsor from uploading it should be gone by now. python-kiwi
had been added to Build-Depends by accident. The short description has
been changed from "Automated Usenet client" to "Simple and automated
Usenet downloader for Newzbin (NZB) files".
Regards,
Severin
PS: Please excuse this copy of my message in your inbox. I'm not so
used to mailing lists.
