Thanks for that, I am impressed by how thoroughly the release team
scrutinize the changes before allowing pacakges into testing.  Kudos for
release team. I hope etch will be released soon.

I just uploaded version 0.5.4.transitional.1-4 to unstable addressing the
issues below.  Notice that in this version I added the gdbmrecent-purge
script, which can be used in the same way the old /usr/bin/jedstate was
used.  This improves the compatibility of the new package with the old one.

I removed all the contradictions and grouped the news into a single entry
(for 0.5.4.transitional.1-4).

I put the following working code in debian/postinst:

        dir=/etc/jed-init.d
        hook=99jedstate_hook.sl
        chksum=cc8dbd5ddce2ed276c2a8f1cf9cc378d
        test -f $dir/$hook                                            \
            && echo "$chksum  $dir/$hook" | md5sum -c >/dev/null 2>&1 \
            && rm -f $dir/$hook
        test -d $dir && rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty $dir
	
Where $chksum is the md5sum of the hook file in the 0.5.4-6 version.

Thanks again,
