I'll do it (I reported the bug), but all I see in incoming are an
``all'' package for the documentation and an i386 binary package
-- no source.  (Probably because you haven't uploaded it yet.)

The most recent source available via apt-get source is 0.28.3-1.


Slightly off-topic: Is the list of mirrors (at
<http://www.debian.org/devel/incoming_mirrors>) up to date?  I can
never seem to get into either of the US mirrors (llug.sep.bnl.gov
takes forever, and debian.midco.net doesn't seem to exist).
