Thanks for your note.

In response to :

1)  Yep I need to do a upload to clear some minor bugs. This will be done.
2)  Not true.  The only serious bug is this one.
3)  Not true.  I am very much alive.
4)  This is the only EAN13 barcode package in debian.
5)  Not true.  ean13 was released with sarge.

I will upload a new release to correct the 'minor' and 'normal' bugs soon.

Ciao,

Jim Westveer
