Thanks. I think conceptually this is a good idea, I do have some practical 
issues with the current package:

- The version number 1.2.7-1 won't work for stable since this is higher than 
testing/unstable. In the past this would be propagated automatically to the 
latter ones but I think that hasn't worked for many years now. The best way 
forward depends a bit on the plan for sid:
* If you want upload 1.2.7-1 there,you can upload 1.2.6-2+1.2.7-1 (or 
something like 1.2.7-0+squeeze1 when wheezy has 1.2.7-1) to squeeze.
* If you want to upload 1.3 there, we can accept 1.2.7-1 in squeeze as soon as 
1.3 is in testing.

- The changelog doesn't seem to mention any CVE id's.

- You add yourself as maintainer and DM-uploader even though you don't have 
that position in unstable. Is this agreed upon with the current maintenance 
team?


Cheers,
Thijs
