First we need to get the current version of our svn into unstable as 3.6.8-6!

I have made a number of updates to the svn recently, acknowledging the
NMU and closing a bunch of bugs (which I marked pending).  There were
four bugs forwarded from Ubuntu which I had also addressed but I haven't
yet put the Closes: into the changelog because they came in after I
finished.  I could do that tonight, if someone doesn't beat me to it.

The changelog looks like this:

dspam (3.6.8-6) unstable; urgency=low

  [Kurt B. Kaiser]
  * Acknowledge NMU. Thanks Adrian Friedli.  (Closes: #448519)
  * dspamc should be setgid. (Closes: #449530)
  * Daemon crashes sometimes, can't determine user. (Closes: #385353)
  * Don't ignore make clean error in rules.

That's about all the time I have for now.  It appears to build and install OK.

Could someone who has upload capability please look over my work and do
the upload?  If you need more from me, please let me know.  Thanks!

Regarding 3.8.0 - How is the stability?  What is the current state of 
development?  Would it actually be an improvement or should it go into
experimental?
