This sounds fine with me from what I've read on the thread over on
-devel as well as here. If you have any problems with access to alioth
to release the file let me know and I'll look into it.

Jeremy

What action needs to be taken on this? BTW, I'm very happy to contribute to sort this sort of thing out myself. I'm not a registered DD, but I'm going through the NM procedure at the moment: https://nm.debian.org/nmstatus.php?email=dom%40earth.li and I have various sponsored packages: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=dom%40earth.li My alioth username is dom-guest.
