Jed does not initialize correctly for me with the new package.  I did not
investigated the problem further, since I do not have much time for this
now.  I simply reverted the packages to the previous versions in unstable
and put them on hold.  I will probably get to this during the next month
or so.

This has nothing to do with debian/changelog but with the .changes file,
which must contain the appropriate "Closes:" field.  (See
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-changes/2006/07/msg00682.html)

This is obtained by using the option -v0.99.16-6 to dpkg-buildpackage,
which I have not done for the upload of 0.99.18-2.  I did it for version
0.99.18-3, which was just uploaded.

Thanks, Jörg, for the heads up.  I learned two things today about Debian
packaging.
