It took me some time, and as I understand it, it is rev763, which fixes the above mentioned issue, thus wouldn't be safer to just backport that change (just reflecting connected/disconnected state) to the version in sid? It should also be fairly easy. I should also admit that the subsequent COLORTERM changes look trivial, and very low risk, thus these should also be acceptable, but if you ask me I'd still go for former (rev763 only), unless you have a better reason for the latter (more verbose changlogs are generally more helpful;-), so please let me know. P.S. I no longer intend to use that package, thus you will need another sponsor for it or alternatively complete the DM-state. However I intend to review and upload your urgent 'fixes' until after release of squeeze. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB <people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu>
