Hello Adam, please accept my apologies, I forgot my obligations too long.
From the list of packages which I maintain, "wims" is the only with a RC bug, which was raised by Andreas Beckmann. This bug is fixed in testing and in unstable now, but Andreas raised it again because it is not fixed in stable. I proposed, as an update, a backport of the last version of wims to squeeze with the version number 4.00-4+squeeze1. This package does not seem to be referenced from http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html I must clear this bug for Debian's version upgrade, and there are two ways to do it: - either ask you to accept the new package wims_4.00-4+squeeze1 which closes the bug report, - or ask for removal of the package wims from squeeze, and manually close the bug report. In both cases, the bug #574235 will be cleared, and wims users will be happy (me too). Which is your mind? Would you accept a new submission of the package wims for squeeze? Best regards, Georges.
