I'm sorry that it took so long, the reason for the delay is that I first
wanted to get my GPG key signed by a Debian developer.  Unfortunately
that still hasn't happened yet, I contacted Alexander Reichle-Schmehl
who is geographically nearest to me, but got no response. :-(

Anyway I have now uploaded symlinks 1.2-5 to mentors.debian.net so you
can review it, if you like.  If you also want to sponsor it, please
contact Joost van Baal (Cc'ed) first, he sponsored the vera package for
me and thus has older rights.

There are two problems with the package that I cannot fix:

- The orig.tar.gz has been repackaged, for whatever reason.  However,
  I verified that the unpacked files are identical to the original.

- The first (or last, depending on your view) entry in debian/changelog
  is not finalized and lintian complains about.  I added an override to
  shut it up.

Cheers,
       Sven
