Hmm....  It seems the mail Andreas points to do wasn't sent to us or the
bug report.  Okay, the important thing is the following:

> We have the explicit OK from upstream to do what we are doing.

Okay, so we are allowed to actually distribute the package.  Wonderful,
let's downgrade the bug :)

So completely solve it, could you please add a sentence to your
copyright?  Something along the lines that in agreement with upstream
Debian may distribute the package, for other users the following license
applies?

Best regards,
