Package: debget Version: 1.6+nmu3 Severity: minor Tags: patch pending Dear maintainer,
README.Debian containts advice about libnet config which has been wrong for more than a decade, when the libnet config was moved to /etc/perl. I've prepared an NMU for debget (versioned as 1.6+nmu4) and uploaded it to DELAYED/XX. Please feel free to tell me if I should delay it longer. Regards.
