You also should close this ITP > bug in the changelog. the packages were previously uploaded only to my own private server archive.amsuess.com's unstable and experimental areas and to an ubuntu ppa, from where they are already used. i remember a recent discussion on mentors@l.d.o, which concluded that some sponsors would like all the old changelog entries marked as UNRELEASED if that version didn't make it, and yet others like it collapsed. if the latter is your preferred way, i'll collapse them to a single short message. > I can sponsor it [...] thank you. i'll prepare an updated package (to section main, with changelog collapsed, standards version updated, and possible new lintian warnings fixed), and notify you when it's ready.
