Hi,Turned out that a build-gone-wild had messed up my build directory and my cleanup was incomplete. Everything's nice when done in a clean environment: no Makefile, no .deps remain. I removed the .hg* stuff (inherited from upstream repo, it's actually not in the tarball). I will add the Vcs-* tags when the repo I'm doing the packaging in is publicly available. (Do you have a suggestion where to put it? I'm using darcs right now, but could switch.)
I added Suggests: telnet. and re-uploaded.

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. Thanks a lot, Happy New Year! Ralph
