Dear all, I am just back from vacation and sorry for my silence during last week.

This might seems harsh, but it's really not :) But I'm not sure what would be the problem of having it on experimental: if the only problem this thing has is that it misrenders images on some cards, then I'd say to upload this version to unstable, and block it there with another RC bug on it, and treat it as a separate bug. I know voluntarily introducing a bug is bad, but I'd weight it against *this* bug, and keeping in mind we're talking about debian *unstable*. Maintainers, what do you think? Can you prepare an upload, maybe based on Gianfranco's work? Or either say that what he did is "Great And Blessed" and confirm that you're cool with us uploading it? :) And tell us what you prefers between uploading the new in experimental and removing the current one from unstable or uploading this directly to unstable.
I am only a beginner in packaging, and I completely trust Mattia, Tobias, Andreas and Gianfranco knowledge and experience. I checked Gianfranco's experimental branch and his work is great! There is few build-depend packages that can be removed (and I noticed the problem with the pixmaps), but this would be my pleasure to fix that very soon. I agree that the display bug, although a priority for upstream, should not delay any debian cleaning up. Unfortunately I will not be able to work on the package (not at least for another week and a half). Therefore, I hereby declare that what Gianfranco did is great and blessed! Thanks you very much! If Gianfranco and everyone else is ok with it (I did not have time to check the packaging here), it would be great if it can be uploaded directly in unstable. In the next few weeks, hopefully upstream 4.0.1 will solve the display bug and I can polish the packaging. Thanks you again all for your work, it is amazing how every time there is something new to learn! Emmanuel -- Emmanuel Promayon, Maitre de conférences Univ.
