Okay thanks.
Have now dcommitted the 2.2.0 patches.
Also tagged the 2.1.0-4 release which was previously not marked.

Would you like me to add myself to uploaders and dput 2.2.0-1?  (I
wouldn't mind someone else doing a quick pass over it first, just to
make sure I didn't make some silly error.)

Skimming http://debian-science.alioth.debian.org/debian-science-policy.html
it appears this involves some minor debian/control tweaks, plus
switching to git which I sort of already have?  Except it would be
nice to preserve the more detailed history from the svn repository.  I
can try to do that, as an exercise for my git fu, but it would be
helpful if someone already has the authors translation stuff set up so
I don't have to cobble it together from scratch.

Anyway, will give it a shot.

Could put mldemos there as well, when it's ready.
Unless it belongs in "education"?  Or "demos"?
These hierarchies are so confusing...that's why I generally just put
my packages in git/collab-maint.

					Cheers,
