   Are those really necessary now?  I will be packaging postnews v0.6
later on this year and planned to look at bumping the debhelper version

release...)

   If you really require the above changes now, I'll take care of
them; but I'd really prefer to do them with the v0.6 packaging...

   Yes, I knew about those and already plan to resolve them with the
postnews v0.6 packaging.
