Please hold on there for a moment. I thought the packages were lintian
clean but didn't realize that I had to run lintian on the .changes file.
Instead I ran lintian on the .deb files and therefore missed several
lintian errors and warnings. I guess I should try to fix these before you
go ahead and upload the packages.
