Well, as it's seen later my supposition was wrong...

I've already packaged standard sylpheed (gtk1) too, it will be
available on unstable as soon as Gustavo has some time to upload it, I
guess. Regarding your package seems (from the files on your personal
repository) you have forgotten the patches and the tools that come
with 0.9.7, and also you didn't reflect all the changes made in the
changelog (debian/rules has been rewritten from scratch, for example).
There are other minor bugs too, see both lintian and linda packages,
they can help you to produce better packages.

I was talking about claws gtk2, didn't know sylpheed main gtk2 had
released a 0.9.9 version :) Knowing that, you're right, sylpheed-gtk2
can enter unstable, but please, don't make it conflict with sylpheed
and sylpheed-claws, that's unnecessary, and maybe annoying for users
that want to test your package. See my sylpheed-claws package on how
to coexist with the standard sylpheed.

You're right of course, because I was talking all the time about
sylpheed-claws gtk2 version, not that other :-)
