I have prepared a revised version of zed [1] -- a package that was orphaned [2] some time ago. This new version goes by the number 1.0.5-10 and conforms to Standars-Version 3.6.1. It's also lintian/linda clean.
The package is available at mentors.debian.net [3] and I'm now looking for a kind DD to check my packaging work and sponsor the upload. I kept the changes minimal -- only the icon file is resized and moved to a proper location. I'd be happy to receive comments about the package whether they concern my changes or not.
