thanks for the roses :)

I don't think this is really necessary, a better solution might be to
split mailman, mailman-common and mailman-doc with mailman depending on
mailman-common which contains among others all python code.

Blame ucf for the chattyness, it needs a --quiet option producing
output only when user interaction is required, I'll file a wishlist
bug.

Oops, I didn't see this. From which mailman version were you upgrading?
I tested 2.4.1-1 -> 2.4.1-2 only.

btw: http://www.winnegan.de/mailman has an updated 2.1.4-1 ready for
     uploading.
