Hi Maarten, thank you for all your work in maintaining your packages here in Debian. That's really appreciated.

New processing is frustrating. However, if you read my Bits from DPL from past months on debian-devel-announce list you might have noticed I'm working on it. I'm currently drafting my next bits to report about the status. The problem is not solved and only future will show whether my attempt will be fruitful. But I envision that new processing of existing packages will be less frustrating. > So, the question is, is it worth the trouble to update libzeep in Debian > which would require the upload of two new libraries (zeep and mxml).
