Just a quick e-mail to let you know that Steve Hudson agreed to remove
the binaries from the source packages. From 6.1.5 on, we will not need
to repack.

Given that we are in freeze and the package is not going to move to
testing or stable anyway, IMHO we should just wait to 6.1.5 (which is
probably 1-2 weeks away)
