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.
