This was just following
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-xml-sgml-devel/2006-August/000694.html. I know, that Uploaders is thought to contain all co-maintainers, but I wasn't sure, if that's also the case for non-DDs, that do not have upload rights. If this isn't an issue, I will add myself to Uploaders (then I can also change the changed-by to my name). But I don't have problems with Mark in Uploaders for the moment. If we still don't hear anything from him[1], his name can also be removed later.

I wrote a bug-report to the pbuilder-maintainer.

No problem. I will wait for your answer and then make the changes and
rebuild the package.

The debian files live on Alioth. The link was posted in my mail. See
above. So you can simply use cvs-buildpackage[2]. I intend to change to
svn-buildpackage with this version. I only put the package to my server
(not into my repository!). Do you have a better idea? I'm not a DD, so I
cannot upload the package directly.

[1] There was no reaction to your mail sent to mia[at]qa.debian.org, so
I don't have any official decision nor orphaning statement.
[2] With pbuilder: $ cvs-buildpackage -C'pdebuild' and then you have a
clean package build.
