No problem, I switched over to squeeze about a week ago so it would
actually be preferable for me to maintain conky in Debian.

One binary includes the nvidia stuff so the source has to
build-depends on nvidia-settings, which is in contrib.

Thats no problem at all. We have frozen 1.8.0 a month or so ago so we
should be able to squeeze that in.
My first priority would be to get tolua++ on-board which could take a
while since it has to go through NEW.
I just hope my usual sponsor (cc'ed) will be able to help me with the
uploads :-)
