In fact, mc has been adopted after being unmaintained for months, maybe
years. So we had more than 100 bugs in the bts. This explains why so much
bugs were fixed by the last 2 uploads. But I beleive that all the bugs fixed
are important to have mc in good shape for sarge.

Here are the important bugs (and a commentary):
- #308296: mc segfaults on charset encoding change. => made the text editor
and viewer broken for non english people
- #308546: mc: Doesn't show ".." when browsing inside .tar.gz. => broke the
number one feature of mc : the VFS.
- #308794: mc: END => broke the editing and syntax highlighting of c/c++ files
And some bugs tagged as normal but seem important to me:
- #299932, #307292: mc: editing jar archives doesn't work anylonger => the
VFS for .jar and .zip was broken
The last 2 uploads fix important bugs which broke major features of mc.
Letting the 'unstable' mc go into 'sarge' will enable us to have a mc nearly
as good as the woody one.
