Yeah, that's a common first reaction to DEP5 format.  Often what is 
really the case, however, is that more info is added, which written 
old-style would have been even less readable.

Or perhaps I have simply grown used to this new format, having worked on 
it for don't know how long - a couple of years, I think.


>does anything need to be done about the FIXMEs?

Yes.

After I stomped the topmost one about source URL (puredata.info was down 
earlier today, apparently), there are now 2 FIXMEs left.

Upper one is obviously a typo, so not a show-stopper.  I would suggest 
you fix it upstream for your next release, though (if not claiming 
copyright in 22nd century is some artistic logo).

Lower one I would appreciate if at least you could clarify - just here 
as an email on this mailinglist, so we have it for the record:

Under which license do Winfried Ritsch license his contributions to 
src/sfplay.c?


>debian/changelog looks also very good.

Ahh, thanks.  I was worried you perhaps wouldn't appreciate it :-)
