I would like to take this occurance to discuss the policy of updating
packages in cases like this:

   Changes in Version 1.0-1

   o "Escaping RGBland" paper is now published Computational
     Statistics & Data Analysis as doi:10.1016/j.csda.2008.11.033.
     Citation and references updated accordingly.

I wonder whether this change of documentation in a package rectifies
spending Debian resources on an update.  It is not that I would like
to refuse working on this.  I just wonder whether we should do an
upgrade in *any* case or just do it with a grain of salt after evaluating
the sense of an upgrade.

Note: I would like discuss this as a matter of principle, the updated package
itself was just uploaded because it deserved some other changes.
