Bug#686547: unblock: calibre/0.8.51+dfsg-1

Severity: normal

Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package calibre

There is a bug in the currently used version, which was fixed in 0.8.52,
preventing the processing of .Lit files.  Since .Lit is one of the most
commonly used ebook file formats, and Calibre is the primary ebook management
software available for Debian users, this is significant.

Currently, version 0.8.60 is capable of migrating to Testing, except for the
freeze request.

As per the email contact I had with the release team, I am including links to
bugs file in Launchpad as well as the Calibre changelog.

Here are links to the  bugs in their bug tracker (he uses Launchpad).

Here is a link to the Calibre changelog.  You will note that the version info
for 0.8.52 included a fix to the regression.

(include/attach the debdiff against the package in testing)

Alas, my Linux-fu is still at yellow belt level, and I have no idea how to work
up a debdiff.
