Hi Bas,

Thanks for doing that. That was actually what I was going to do next,
because I had noted it on one of the other C++ packages you pushed
recently.

Before I started my holidays I created a new -doc package and got rid of
a pile of lintian complaints. I was down to just a small number of
experimental "privacy" warnings, that were not so easy to fix because
they appear to be auto-generated by doxygen. I had failed to "grep" where
they are generated from.

You are welcome to get the package uploaded into experimental if you
wish. I will be part time for another week, and with the new -doc package
(and SONAME bump) I would need sponsorship anyway.

Thanks,

Ross
