Thanks for stepping up as new maintainer for this interesting package. I see you're including CHANGES as docs which is not required. It'll get installed twice then and end up as both CHANGELOG and changelog.gz in the deb. (=> Removed) Moreover your short description lacks one "h" (at wich - should be which) and it also lacks a comment that this plugin is only a local rendering and doesn't transmit images accross to your chat/IM-partner who will also have to install the plugin to enjoy the full functionality. (=> Updated) LaTeX.[ch] have still have the old FSF address which you may want to tell upstream so that they can fix it. As you've also opened your own ITP I guess it'd make sense to close that as well for cosmetic reasons - even though they should be closed both through the already existing link. (=> Added) Apart from that, IMHO fine to be uploaded. Thus I've taken the above mentioned measures in () and sponsored your package. You can find my upload at http://people.debian.org/~kilian/pidgin-latex/ -- Best regards, Kilian
