Hello Debian-Release team,

monotone-viz is RFA'ed and has a release critical bug:
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=494558>

I am assuming this is a issue in Lenny because Lenny appears to have the 
latest version of monotone:
<http://packages.debian.org/lenny/monotone>

Unfortunately, the solution recommended in the bug report is to update 
the package to the newest upstream version.
It looks like this version uses a different mechanism to access the 
database, from <http://oandrieu.nerim.net/monotone-viz/>

   1.0:  do not access the monotone database directly: obtain all
   necessay information via the |mtn automate| mechanism

The other changes appear to be relatively minor (documentation and build 
issues).

If somebody were to package the latest version and put it in unstable, 
is there any chance of it getting into Lenny?

Thanks.

Brian May
