I think you meant "xprt-xprintorg" rather than "xprt" here. It'd be
nice to get the updated names ("xprint") in before sarge, but looks like
at this point I'm going to have to accept we won't have time.
To make things worse, the updated names are currently stuck in the
dysfunctional NEW queue. I didn't realise there was a problem - normally
a new package would go through in only a week.
In hindsight I should have changed names from xprt-xprintorg to xprint
earlier without waiting for xprt, but I had told myself to wait for xprt
to be released from xfree86 first, and then to do all the changes at
once.
