Hi Joey,

I have just packaged up 5.1.6, which should hit experimental once it
clears NEW.  However, please note that it has had *no testing at all*,
not even testing installation works, but it should work in practice--I
only altered a few version numbers in the maintainer scripts and
debian/install.* and debian/rules, and it's lintian clean.
I also currently lack a printer with ink to verify printing works.

I have also just uploaded 5.0.2-1.  This contains some drivers
backported from 5.1.x, so you might find your printer now works with
stock unstable.

Please do let me know if you find any problems, and I'll do my best to
help you.


Regards,
Roger
