Thanks a lot for the kind words.  And thank you for for making it 
possible at all to distribute with Debian: by writing the program in the 
first place :-D

Thanks for the suggestions!  I am building an updated package right now!


The Debian packaging of Hydrogen is maintained in a team.  Please help 
keep the spirit high in the team, by not posting to me privately but 
instead use the Generic contact address: hydrogen at packages.debian.org

Or even better: File bugreports!  Yes, the term is a bit misleading, 
because it is not only for bugs but also feature requests.  If you 
already use Debian (or Ubuntu or some other derivative) then I recommend 
using the commandline tool "reportbug" found in the package by the same 
name.  Alternatively see how to file bugreports through email here: 
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting


If you don't know about it already, you might be interested in this 
page: http://packages.qa.debian.org/h/hydrogen.html

Also note how on that page you can subscribe to the package - which 
means you receive a copy whenever someone files a bugreport against the 
package, og posts to that generic email address I mentioned earlier: 
hydrogen at packages.debian.org .


I have taken the liberty to cc our mailinglist to share this 
conversation with my fellow maintainers.  Hope you don't mind.


Kind regards,

  - Jonas
