I'd really prefer to do the package myself, nothing personal. I also
seriously doubt you'll get Brian to accept a new package into hamm at

It's done no harm till now, broken as it is, I doubt it'll do any
fixed. In any event, let's not argue over the details, if I do
another NMU it'll be removed (assuming we did remember correctly).
