Hi Christian, I just sent you a private email which must have crossed paths with your most recent one to debian-science.

If you mean the official Debian repository, I'd now like to wait until we can figure out what's overwriting the build log and regenerating debian/control with different build-depends. The latter is a potentially RC bug, and the former could cause weird problems on the buildds. See the other mail I just sent you for details. best regards, -- Kevin B.
