Hi Tony, I have no objections to an NMU on this one, however I think that I may be able to deal with it today or tomorrow. I have been planning an update for a while now, but I've been distracted by writing a thesis. I'll look at getting this bug fixed, and bringing the package up to date, along with the output of lintian. #655922 will have to wait for a future upload.
