that is great news since for me that revision was segfaulting but could
be due to my crude setup ... or may be since I have tried on stretch/sid
mix.  Thanks!

AFAIK Ola is looking into updating it to 1.6 release.  If you could
indeed make a pass to refresh debian/copyright -- that would be awesome.

Ola -- what do you think -- should we aim for upload of 1.6 or we could
finalize 1.5 may be first?  if 1.6 -- then would be nice to import/merge
upstream so that Geoffrey could have a pass on up-to-date source base

You are most welcome -- thanks for offering your help!
