Not either, really; it is for my own benefit, since I use it (indirectly), and I prefer having everything apt-able.

I have already uploaded a diff and dsc: http://primate.net/~itz/vcg_1.30debian-2.diff.gz http://primate.net/~itz/vcg_1.30debian-2.dsc However, Jens Secher (who had offered to sponsor me the usual way) pointed out that the .orig tarball differs from the one listed in the copyright file. This is not my doing; I just took the .orig file apt-get source gave me. We (Jens, me, and previous maintainer) had some inconclusive discussion about this, and right now I don't know how to proceed. My indecision has only been reinforced by the thread below (which, too, petered out in an ambiguous way): http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/01/msg00297.html -- I wonder which is the best virus for unix and if I can write a better one in Microsoft BASIC ?
