I now worked on the package as well. I looked at the changes and also
the changes in respect to the latest tarball from SF. Pushing (read:
committing[1]) things upstream is deferred though until the version in
Debian stabilized again.
My first round of changes is now done:
* Fix minor typos in German man pages.
* Update my e-mail address in debian related files
* Do not ignore errors in clean targets (thanks, lintian)
* Bump standards version to 3.7.2.2
* Bump dephelper level to 5
* Use linux-libc-dev now as build dependency (instead of
linux-kernel-headers)
I think you should upload our changes now. Since I am no kernel developer,
I cannot really judge some of your/upstream changes, so I leave it up
to you whether you upload to experimental or unstable (depends on the
pressure from 2.6.23 as well, of course).
I have more changes (mostly in the documentatian/build area) in the
pipeline, I will see if I've time next weekend.
Thanks for your swift help on getting aboot in shape again!
Greetings
Helge
