Give a little (or a lot) of patience for Lintian and Debugs.  Both are huge
packages and I'm going to require a "little extra" time to get them both
squared away.  As for the rest of my packages, they are small and minor and
you can NMU them or wait until I can do it.

As it is, I"m not ready to install perl-5.005 yet.. not until more of the
"important" packages (in contrast to wmweather) are upgraded.
