Haven't you received my e-mail regarding an upload to unstable? Well,
check the list archives if you didn't :)
It should be already there, but my sponsor didn't upload it because of
some lintian warnings, especially the one about the configuration file
check being in the postinst. I moved the check to config and added a
real alternative to the suggestion on wordlist, and he's going to upload
it in some hours.

I'll commit the changes to the CVS as soon as I get time (/me add's it
to his new shiny to do list, so he doesn't forget and can define a
deadline :-))

About the bugs that should be closed, we can discuss more later on, I
don't really have time to read all of your opinions right now, I'm in a
hurry, sorry :/ But one called my attention, the one about using generic
to build all archs. I don't really want to have problems again of john
not entering testing because of failing builds. I totally agree with
using the generic target, and even worked on that during debconf, but
before uploading, we should put it in a separate repository and, IMHO,
ask for people who could test if it builds on different archs on -devel.
Then I think we could safely (and perhaps gradually) add archs that
work OK :)

And also, as I've said in a previous e-mail I'm not sure you received,
I think it's not utterly necessary to run after these changes for the
unstable version, since we might have progress enough to put the devel
snapshot from experimental in unstable, hopefully =3DD

What do you think? =3D)
