Have many thanks for this. You have changed that in your debian-med
svn checkout, right? If so, please commit, so I am not producing any
unnecessary conflict between our versions. Prior to the commit please
also inform the changelog with

  [ -x /usr/bin/dch ] || apt-get install devscripts
  dch -i "Improved long description."
  sed -i '1s/unstable/UNRELEASED/' debian/changelog

The change will then be part of the next upload. I typically wait
for some functional change (new version or bug fix) before uploading
anything. Just tell me though if you want this to materialise on the
servers any earlier.

Best,

Steffen
