Hi. Thanks a lot for the CC.
In fact, I almost included the latest GFDL in base-files before the
release of lenny, but in the end it happened not to worth the effort
*for lenny*.
Now that lenny has been released, I agree that the best course of
action here is to update the GFDL in base-files, hence the reassign.
Thanks.
