hey debian moz-ext folks--

I just pushed enigmail 1.9 into debian unstable.

In doing so, i updated the packaging git repository rather significantly
compared to the last unstable upload (previous experimental uploads
already had these changes).  I just wanted to make sure folks are aware
of it.

  https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-mozext/enigmail.git

is now merged with upstream git, which should make it easier to
cherry-pick from upstream, as well as providing interested users and
developers with a finer-grained history of the changes to the tool.

But this means if you've already checked out the repo, you might find
that you can't cleanly fast-forward your master or upstream branches,
which were force-moved to their current locations atop what had been an
experimental branch.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but this should put us in a better
place going forward with enigmail maintenance.

(note: enigmail is also now Arch: all and has no binary components, yay!)

happy hacking,

        --dkg
