Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I believe this reply was intended for
a different bug.  Your salutation appears to be for someone not named
previously on bug #507966.

Agreed that it's sometimes worthwhile to support eggs.  This patch
would make it slightly cleaner for CDBS packages to do so.

Regards,
Greg
