Thats really strange - as I built this package in a pbuilder before.
Arnaud build the package also on his box before the upload.

But somehow all the patches mentioned in the changelog are missing
and some strange config.guess files are included intead.

My diff.gz here for this version is 3kB in size but the diff.gz
in the archive is > 60 kB in size. There went something completely
wrong.

I will prepare a new version this evening.
