Please be aware that not all the packages need a recent upload, especially when you consider non-software packages (e.g. artworks, sounds and so on). Even lintian does not produce any error when using old debhelper or policy versions (admitting the packages is fine with the new versions): <http://lintian.debian.org/tags/ancient-standards-version.html> <http://lintian.debian.org/tags/package-uses-deprecated-debhelper-compat-version.html> Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
