Hi again,

First of all, thanks you so much for sponsoring the previous uploads.

One curiosity, did you notice that 0.5.3+20060522-2 was uploaded to 
unstable, and not experimental?

$ apt-cache policy wpasupplicant
wpasupplicant:
  Installed: 0.5.3+20060522-2
  Candidate: 0.5.3+20060522-2
  Version table:
 *** 0.5.3+20060522-2 0
        500 http://ftp.au.debian.org unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.5.3+20060522-1 0
          1 http://ftp.au.debian.org experimental/main Packages

While, I am not sad to see that package enter SID at all, and I don't 
think there is need to panic about this, I need to point out two 
important things:

   1. It breaks support for the madwifi package in sid (I must haul ass
      now to prepare a new madwifi package)
   2. It included a kinda experimental roaming solution, wpa_action [1]
      along with some logrotate stuff. Noone yet commented on wpa_action.

Thanks, Kel.
