changed 'pim' to 'tupim': should I close the ITP?

2004-03-25 Thread Number Six
Since "pim" was too generic a name, I changed it to "tupim" after a suggestion on this list (Tom's Unique PIM). I opened this ITP 2 days ago: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=239523 Should I close it and open a new one? Or is there some way to update it?
