Since this message has gone more than 3 weeks without response from
the maintainer that I can tell, I'll go ahead and do upload an NMU to
DELAYED based on the patches in the BTS.  The exception is that I plan
to fix the aclocal issue the same way I did in ucd-snmp -- which is to
copy the one package-specific macro to acinclude.m4 so that aclocal
will work.
