Package: snoopy
Version: 1.8.0-2
Severity: important

It seems that during the handoff the new maintainer, something weird
happened regarding the package's history.

More specifically, debian/changelog lists version 1.8.0-1 with the
previous changelog entry being 1.3-13. However, lenny included 1.3-15,
with -14, -14.1 and -15 including various fixes, some of them being re-done in
1.8.0-1 (like the removal of linda overrides).

What's worse, though, is that most were not, resulting in having the
current version missing various fixes, mostly translations (a *lot* of
them). What's *even* worse, is that someone did the Russian translation
back then (#488133), it was uploaded with -14.1, was dropped with the
handoff and someone did it *again*, from scratch, for the latest version
(#637754), wasting the efforts of the translators.

You can also see the effects of this on the BTS' graphs where you can
easily see the fork to the two versions and how bugs are still open on
the current version, although resolved/archived.

Regards,
Faidon
