This package is not marked as lowNMU threshold, the bug is not relevant
to the Lenny release, the package is not orphaned, there is no
indication in the bug report that you have prepared an NMU and you
have not waited for the maintainer to respond to the NMU request (as
you haven't made it) - why are you considering an NMU?

You couldn't even be bothered to describe the problem within the bug
report itself, merely linking to some other site that supposedly
describes the 'issue'.

Not a good enough reason - yes, if this was an orphaned package or you
had proof that the maintainer is MIA.

I doubt that Vedran would be quite so pleased.

This is another upload to mentors that should be summarily removed for
blatant disregard for Policy.
