Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "qbzr". The package is already
in Ubuntu and I got inspiration from this package, uploaded by QBzr
developers.

There is one lintian warning:
I: lbzip2 source: quilt-patch-missing-description makefile
The package fails to unapply the debian patches in the clean rule. As
a result, some files get embedded in the diff.gz when built several
times in a row:
lbzip2-0.16rc1/.pc/applied-patches
lbzip2-0.16rc1/.pc
