Bug#680600: unblock: kiwix/0.9~beta6.8-1

[renaud gaudin]

Vasudev,

I believe there is a misunderstanding between the debian/CHANGELOG and
the software changelog:
http://kiwix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/kiwix/moulinkiwix/CHANGELOG?revision=3829&view=markup

Can you try to post that and check as I think we all agree Kiwix is
mature enough for wheezy and missing wheezy is a very sad news :(
