yeah, sorry about the bit of silence there. I got bogged down in some
work things. Anyway, back on track.

Aha, I missed that one. Fixed and committed.

By take over do you mean just rerun dch --create -v 2.7.3 --package
phyutility? Or dch -i ?

I think the ITP bug is one that is getting me a little stuck. I
understand it is the Intent to Package bug, but can't seem to find how
to close it. If you could point me in the right direction, I think I
could get it.

The publication is this:
Smith, S. A. and C. Dunn. 2008. Phyutility: a phyloinformatics utility
for trees, alignments, and molecular data. Bioinformatics. 24: 715-716.
pdf: http://blackrim.org/files/smithdunn2008.pdf
I am also working on the manpage. I think I know what to do there, just
getting it together. I think everything should be set then.
Take care and thanks for the patience,
Stephen
