Hi Daniel,

Thanks so much for doing an initial review before REVU.

I have made adjustments as suggested.

Tried building with pbuilder under --distribution=hardy, but ran into
noise with "debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink". Found a discussion
on this here: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2007/11/21/%23ubuntu-motu.txt.
Not sure I agree with the new behaviour when changelog etc are symlinked
into dependant packages... Anyway, it seems working on gutsy and
pbuilding on hardy is not trivial...

I have tried to upload my last attempt to REVU, but some strange local
network issue will not let dput through to revu.tauware.de from my
gutsy host. Will ask my friendly lab eng to fix the network issue and
upload to REVU as soon as possible.

If you should have the cycles to have a look at my last attempt still on
http://dbtg.thresher.com/derby/bits/ubuntu/, I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks!
