Hallo Christian,

I used my nickname mainly out of convinice, becourse I had already a key
for this name and realised that it could be a problem when I saw the
lintian warnings. However this warnings seamed not to have a high
severity, so I laved it this way. Since this is a problem for you I
changed the maintainer name to my real name.

It is in the svn and on mentors under:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fonts-senamirmir-washra

Please lead me know if there are further problems

Sebastian aka Eremit7
