I have a nicely working 'capslockx' program in a locally-modified version of this package I'd like to get submitted back into Debian. What steps next can we take to achieve this? -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leon...@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/ pgpk6Koi8FxVc.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
