Hi, Andrew:

Thanks for the update, it's good to hear that upstream folks are
interested in helping out.

When I moved the Git repository to its own group on Alioth a while back
I set up a post-receive hook to send notification emails to this mailing
list when updates are pushed to the repo.  (It should only generate one
email per push rather than one email per commit.)  That's probably the
best way to keep in sync with other members of the packaging team.

Have you had a look at the TODO list I posted to the list?

Acking the NMUs is pretty easy, but I don't know where to go from there.

I don't see anything wrong with an upload to experimental scheduled for
next Friday.  Thanks again!
