Package: xindy Version: 2.4~pre1-1 Severity: serious This new version of Xindy contains a bug. It merges entries with numbers. This causes wrong/missing entries in the index of a document and hence, this version should not go into testing aka the next release. But it should stay in untable to get a wider audience for testing.
