Junichi, I think we've talked about this a few times on IRC, I think you
knew what my plans were.

This problem with the new slang packages was already discussed when the
NMU was uploaded, right? I also see it's a major problem that the -dev
packages can't coexist...

This is the first time I hear about an NMU against nano. I'm an active
maintainer and anyone can ask me about its status on IRC. Anyway, I see
nothing in delayed.

If it's taking some time, it's for a reason:
1) I wanted to give slang some time to see if there were problems with
that NMU. I only want to update nano once, for the following reason:
2) I need to upload nano 1.0.8 to woody-proposed-updates. That is,
uploading to woody directly, not going through unstable, as unstable has
1.1.6. This means I have to build nano in 11 architectures by hand, and
this takes some time.

Anyway, if you cleaned up nano's debian/rules, I guess I can have a look
to see if I want to adopt the new thing. But I don't think it's such a
mess...
