Bug#726262: Accepted m2crypto 0.21.1-4 (source amd64) into unstable

seems that people offers their help and disappear soon after the first
mail.
For this reason I sponsored to Daniel the new release, with some bug
fixes in this package, specially the RC bugs.
This O bug was two years old, it was time to react :)
Daniel finished the nm process a few days ago, and he will have full
upload rights in a few weeks, I'm sure he will do a good work with
this package, and I guess if somebody from a Python team asks... he
will put the package again in a collaborative maintenance fashion :)
cheers, and thanks to you for the great work on this package!
Gianfranco, sponsor of the updated version
