@Kevin: This is again good news for sorting out this issue. Thanks a  
lot for your help, Kevin.

@Frederico: I guess we are through then. Thanks for helping with  
clarifying the situation (and bringing it up in the first place).

For fixing this issue (in terms of closing the bug), I propose this  
for downstream (i.e., Debian):

   o copy bug_784565.mbox [1] into the debian/ folder of the  
nx-libs-lite package
   o upload some latest release of nx-libs-lite 3.5.0.x to unstable
   o update debian/copyright accordingly
   o close this bug via debian/changelog

For upstream, I propose this:

   o copy bug_784565.mbox into the docs/ folder
   o update copyright information in nxcomp/ subfolder
   o provide some README or such that shortly explains our last weeks' process
   o this will be for the upcoming 3.6.x release series of nx-libs

   o this should also be backported to the 3.5.x release series

Once the mbox file and README are upstreamed, I will drop that content  
from the debian/ folder in the Debian package nx-libs-lite (as it will  
be in the upstream tarball of nx-libs-lite).

Feedback (esp. from Frederico), concerns, other suggestions?

Greets,
Mike
