Ian, I missed this requirement at the time of making these non-maintainer
releases, thank you for bringing it to my attention. I did however mail
the maintainers privately, explaining what changes had been made.
Perhaps this policy should be amended, it really doesn't make much sense
for -0.1 type releases, where the diff would be large compared to the
previous package.
Martin.
