Looking at the lintian results above I strongly recommend not to accept him at the moment because his packages are so buggy that I don't consider his Tasks & Skills check as passed. cu Adrian -- Nicht weil die Dinge schwierig sind wagen wir sie nicht, sondern weil wir sie nicht wagen sind sie schwierig.

Beiad plans to take over a package (maybe you could have read the message I was refering to). I've the package sources but I've not yet the time to check them.
