I'm not gonna play bts pingpong even though I know I'm right. :-P

I saw your mail to this bug, but I consider QA work team work :-)

Why? Did you look at http://bugs.debian.org/230358 ? The package does not work 
at all with a 2.6 kernel. A 2.4 kernel was last shipped with sarge, so there 
is absolutly no point in keeping it any day longer in sid.

As you wrote: "normally"...

This package should not have been part of the etch release, so it's pointless 
to wait any day longer. Heck, you could even request its removal from 
stable :-)

You're welcome :-)
