Thorsten,

I'm emailing again (this time also addressing your personal email
address). I need to know whether I should upload now with those
Lintian errors still outstanding (but will be fixed with next upstream
release) or whether the LIntian errors need to be fixed before
acceptance into Debian.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
