Dear release team, I was trying to get a new version of amavisd-milter (1.5.0-3) sponsored and the issue was raised if the package is suitable for inclusion into Squeeze. As the upcoming release is already in deep freeze the changeset may not be important enough to justify an exception. On the other hand the current version "may" be in violation of Debian policy (7.3/7.4) which I guess is also not really desirable. In order to allow for some prelimiary judgement I have attached a debdiff of the dsc files from the versions 1.5.0-2 and 1.5.0-3.
Thanks for your time and I hope you can accept my changes as I see this an effort to provide the best and cleanest possible package for Squeeze. Kind regards Harald Jenny
