I'm using unstable as well, and I'm the kind of person to complain about
warnings, so they're on my list to get fixed; hopefully I'll be able to
get to that tomorrow, otherwise it'll be monday...

doh! Don't know how that one slipped past me, I don't even put things on
my own repository until they are lintian clean. Thanks for catching it...

Works for me, I'm a bit embarrassed that I let that lintian bug slip past
me in the first place. I'll take a peek at the warnings when I get a few
minutes, and I'll send you an e-mail when the new package is ready...

Yes I have a gpg key (you should be able to pull it from
wwwkeys.us.pgp.net), no it is not yet signed by a Debian developer (I
can't seem to find anyone located in my area which is kinda strange given
that I live in a fairly large city), and I have not yet started the NM
process. Any advice you could give me on any of the above would be
appreciated...
