Package: twin
Version: 0.5.1-3
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Twin currently requires versioning information be replaced in four
different places in its packaging. This is unacceptable, and it should
get the information from one place (the changelog). Attached is a patch
that achieves that.

Version: 0.5.1-3+rm
The twin package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/446692 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
