Agreed. Thats why *I* can't fix it. Anyways I don't see why big discussions
or spending time with it (preparing an upload, asking for unblock,
unblocking it) by different parties are neccessary if a lenny-ignore
would be enough for NOW. Especially because the bug does not really have
any effect on tools used to process the changelog (for example
parsechangelog works flawless with the tool, appearently packages.d.o do
so, too). Its not so that I asked the maintainer to not fix it.
