Hi tobi,
Thanks for helping me adopting this package.
First I'm sorry that I haven't answered before. For some reason I didn't
receive any of your emails. Hopefully that is now fixed.

In the previous discussion I have stated that I also want to remove
asciidoc-base. During the freeze period I've decided that I want to keep
this binary package because it reduces the amount of dependencies for
smaller use cases like generating man pages. Sorry if that caused some
confusion.

Sounds good. I have written something in the NEWS file in the newest
upload. The user doesn't have to change their configuration. It should
work out of the box.
