I really feel this new freedict 1.3-4 package should get shipped with the upcoming Debian lenny release: it would be good for Debian and its users. I've just build and checked it; I'd like to upload it as-is. > I am asking for adoption.

OK. So, unless you tell me not to, I'll upload the package within a few days. Thanks for your work! Bye, Joost
