Alright, that's what I thought anyways.

I'll talk to upstream on this case.

Yes, that's a good idea, and would probably give eboard some chance to make it
still into lenny (on the regular path, at least). I removed the Suggests entry
for now.
The updated versions of
eboard (pack2 suggestion removed) and
eboard-extras-pack1 (now lintian-clean)
are on mentors, as usual:
* http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/e/eboard/eboard_1.1.1-1.dsc
* http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/e/eboard-extras-pack1/eboard-extras-pack1_2-2.dsc
Is this it, do I have a sponsor now? If yes, that was easy. :-)
Best regards and thanks,
Patrik
