I'm uploading a fix for this problem as fast as my sponsor gets to it. I
was unaware that upstream had moved to Sourceforge, but now that I know
that I'll package the new upstream version as soon as the release
critical bug is fixed in etch.

Peter--feel free to ignore any bugs that are specifically related to
Debian packaging issues. I'll get them.

Christine
