Hi Thomas,
>Please don't NMU before sending a patch to the BTS for this and leave a >reasonable delay to the package maintainer. This must be a general rule. Actually I also pinged you on irc for that reason :) Anyway, since the changes are not minimal (I would like to refactor a little bit the packaging) and you are an uploader, I'm going to do the work right now, and send it here as a "Team Upload" rather than an NMU. Feel free to upload or ask me to do it, if you feel confortable with it. thanks a lot, Gianfranco
