Yes, how I cursed that one, once I realised it had got out.

I sent three ITPs, and one made it out wrong. I knew some one would spot it, 
nonetheless ;)

Ah. So that's what I did wrong, maybe.

The two packages build from the same source.  Does that mean a single ITP is 
necessary?  I have not raised ITPs before, so was not sure exactly.

One question this raises in my mind:

suppose I have a single source tar.gz, that I want to build into four debian 
binary packages, with different names (obviously).  If this should require 
only one ITP, which package name should the ITP be made for?
