Bug#616012: "ITA: screenie -- lightweight GNU screen(1) wrapper"

[Dmitry Smirnov <onlyjob@member.fsf.org>]

Hi Axel,

Thank you very much for sponsorship and for advice.

Perhaps I should have clearly state the change of upstream in changelog.
The only reason (and excuse) for not doing so is that it's already mentioned 
in package description: 
"This is an enhanced Perl-reimplementation of 'screenie' by Marc O. Gloor"

Lesson learned, will do as advised from now on.

Cheers,
Dmitry.
