First of all, please don't close bugs opened against my packages, unless you opened them yourself, or asked me first. I happen to agree with the reporter, this *is* a bug, although not a serious one. > Your package as-is cannot be backported.

Ancient versioned dependencies are not much more than noise. However, making backporting easier is a reasonable wish, so I'll add the explicit autoconf >= 2.68 dependency. (That, or fix my configure to work on squeeze, if that's not too hard) > If you do not want to upload, I can NMU your package. I will upload a backportable version, targetting unstable. I don't believe this issue warrants a freeze exception however, so I'm not going to pursue that. -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
