I did not expect it to be accepted right away, in particular due
to the bug remark I inserted.

I discovered this segmentation fault four days ago, and suddenly
your message of sponsoring this package came quite unexpectedly.
I had honestly begun wondering wether to withdraw the package due
to this segfault.

Both these are from at least 2003, I have never bothered.
Right, I did insert ", and" as well as change a comma to a colon!
Honestly, I am somewhat lost as to the agility a new package

a previous maintainer has compiled. Am I at liberty to modify
the texts according to my own taste, or am I to preserve as
much as possible of the previous text?
