'no new features'... That would be a little problematic, since one way
to fix a bug (here: not a Debian bug) is to rethink the problem and rewrite
the program a little...

We are using these packages more or less on a comersial level (our phone bill
depends on it), so it _HAVE_ to work as expected (or should one say
'unexpected' here... :)

What we are talking about here is bug fixes, which just happens to have new
features to...

Still not okay? (I'm not trying to be difficult here, I just want to know
what the rules are...)
