Yeap, we have been busy. There aren't any immediate things yet. There still
a few lintian warnings on the libsword (mainly manpages missing). Soon, hopefullly
by the end othis week there will be some stuff.

We are currently planning to upload to experimental (in next 2 weeks) and sync to
jaunty from there? Will that be possible?

Also I have a question that you might help to answer.

Does library binary package should declare dependency on it self? Eg.

DEB_DH_MAKESHLIBS_ARGS_libsword7 := -V"libsword7 (>= 1.5.11-1)"

or should be >= 1.5.11? Or should it not be here at all?
