package libts-0.0-0 tags 623095 patch thanks Hi,
if I read 8613e4c2872a87cc309a42de2c7091744dc54d0e correctly it seems that it does not modify any parts of the API that tslib actually uses. Wouldn't it then be safe for tslib to allow both EV_VERSION 0x010001 and 0x010000? I've attached a tested debdiff against 1.0-8. source package and armel binaries are available at http://lindi.iki.fi/lindi/tslib/
