... applies to a package uploaded only to experimental, so far, which is
why I hadn't closed the WNPP bug yet (I normally do so with the first
upload to unstable). However, since the next upload is likely to target
unstable anyway, and should occur soon, there isn't any real use in
reopening this bug, either. Sorry that it fell off my stack; I was in
'hold' mode waiting for the upstream author to fix some fairly pathological
misuses of autoconf, before I was willing to maintain it as anything but
experimental. Those are now fixed.
