Please say if you think this is not to be in debian. | Upstream authors (taken from Changelog, plus copyright notices): | Eryq <eryq@zeegee.com> | David F.

My opinion is that it would be better if all uncertainities vanish (Tincho, can you file a bug in upstream's RT?), but there is nothing that makes me believe that there are problems with the above and DFSG. Any idea how to pass this through ftp-masters once again? -- dam JabberID: dam@jabber.minus273.org
