Ok; will change.

I'm going by http://packages.qa.debian.org/f/fakeroot.html which
indicates that 1.11 is the latest 'stable' version, and 1.12.4
is 'unstable' (in testing as of June 24, 2009).

It's my understanding (please correct me if I am wrong) that we
only want to integrate stable versions.  I'm happy to move to
1.12.4 if that's more appropriate.

Accepted; will change.

The ARC proposal is being reviewed, as we speak, by the ARC sponsor,
who suggested that I proceed with the code review in the mean time.

I was unaware of the restriction on .la/.a files; I looked in the
SFW source and there are admittedly very few packages that distribute
them.  I'll take your comment under advisement and wait for the ARC's
decision on this.

Will do.

Agreed.  I'll let the ARC be the final arbiter on this.

Thanks, again.
