Greetings!
Thank you very much for taking the time to review this package! When it
comes to packaging I clearly still have a long way to go.
I have fixed all those issues, including #1018222. I have tested the
package extensively and installed it on a fresh unstable installation running
inside a virtual machine, and everything seems to be in working order.
Before I re-submit this package for sponsorship, I do have one doubt,
though: because it reached the NEW queue, I'm not sure if I should tag it 3.3.1-
1 or 3.3.1-2. Which one should I use?
Thanks a lot!
Francisco
