Hi,

Thanks Niels and Tony for your reviews and advices!

Right, I didn't thought it would worth the trouble to support “infested
with security issues making them unsuitable”-versions.

Right, I did bother to update the (multiple duplicates of the same)
documentation, but a better handling of such error would have indeed be
worthwhile.

OK, so let's just continue to support its building then.

That was the idea (both because we're in freeze, and because it's an NMU
to fix an issue opened yesterday). If the release team is fine with
0.51, I guess it could be uploaded to unstable ;).

I'm afraid it won't cope with the ${archive_name:6:1} versus
${archive_name:6:2} expansion currently used in the scripts (or would
need some more intrusive changes that may not be desirable).

I've prepared another one, debdiff attached. It explicitly adds support
for two digits version, without touching to the one digit version
support nor the documentation (since it's still accurate with that change).

I'll upload it to DELAYED/1 in about four hours (that is one day after
after the initial DELAYED/2 upload), unless we find something else that
need fixing in the mean time or if someone prefers to take care of it
another way.

Regards.

David
