You are thanking me??? Hey, I left some stack of work from DebConf 11
(two years ago!!!!) and only my fear that people will hit me with a big
club once I show up at this years DebConf because of missing signatures
has motivated to do the remaining work yesterday.  So please do not
thank me for beeing quite lazy over the last two years. ;-)

This might or might not be.  In Perl the effect was very drastic.

It would be great if you could do a safe reimport say for perl and
blends team.  If this shows the results we are expecting we should look
into other teams as well.  It would be really great if this could be
fixed in the next couple of days because I want to present some graphs
at DebConf.

Kind regards
