In any case we can just backport what is available in Debian testing.
If a package has landed there (we will see when ftpmaster will accept
the current package and what upstream will be released at that time) we
can ask whether this is a sensible target for backporting.

Everything can be included into the next upload once the package in new
was accepted. Its hard to predict when this will be. We have seen
periods of days, weeks and monthes. Waiting for your work to become
effective is some of the patience draining things in Debian sometimes.

I admit I'm very positively impressed by your energy. You are the most
productive MoM student and you have obviously a lot of fun to challenge
the learning curve with an extreme speed. I like this a lot!

I'm *very* lazy with life chat techniques. I think most of the time
these drain more time than they give you. I'm fine with appointments
to meet in IRC and I will do my best. When beeing at DebConf I even
have a IRC window open. But I prefer mail for serious information
since its archived and you can seek in it. But if others are fine
with IRC this channel is not restricted to automatic messages at all.
Thanks again
Andreas.
