Perhaps it was me who ignored this lintian warning first. :) This warning doesn't make sense for Debain any more. I completely agree with Boris on this. > > - Dmitry Smirnov is listed as an Uploader for astromenace but not for > > astromenace-data; is this intended? > > I am not sure that he want to co-maintain it.

In the beginning both packages [astromenace,astromenace-data] were generated from single source. It was good enough as proof of concept. I was not following on development since Boris continued it but I trust Boris and I'm sure he knows what he is doing. :) As the moment I have other priorities so I can't co-maintain astromenace-data yet. I'd probably stay a bit longer as astromenace uploader until I decide whenever remove or add myself as uploader of astromenace-data. Thanks, Boris. Thanks Vincent.
