It seems strange to me to have changes of this scale in a NMU. Wouldn't you rather either hijack the package or talk to Liu Qi about adding yourself as a co-maintainer? Especially since it's your 5th NMU of this package in a row, you're kind of its official non-maintainer :p -- 1KB // Yo momma uses IPv4! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
