Ups, that's a bit late for the just uploaded package.  However it seems
that bug #611008 was a false alarm.  I'm waiting for confirmation of the
reporter.

Just for the sake of interest: The no-no for the Debhelper 5 to 7 bump
is only because you consider the *change* with potential consequences as
to heavy for last minute Squeeze inclusion or is there something else
which makes it a no-no?

Kind regards
