Great.  Sorry if I sounded impatiently.

  I was asked several times when all people could profit.  I added some
  hint given by Benjamin Drung about automatic test cases to the Wiki[2] -
  but I do not really feel competent to push this forward (and I wonder
  actually why exactly for this patch this test case feature should be
  required).
 
 Now that we have a test infrastructure, we prefer to have tests
 accompany new functionality.  Unlike the wiki suggests, this requires no
 knowledge of Perl.  The tests are for the UI of the scripts and
 therefore are written in shell.

May be I need to dive a bit more into this.  Hopefully I will find some
time at DebConf.  Any kind of help / patches would be welcome for sure.

Kind regards

  Andreas.
