Yes.

I don't know. I hope so.

It's difficult to test everything... I agree it's best if you do some
bacis test.

The problem is that even if you test that it works for version X, you have
no guaranty that it won't break when the next version of the library gets
uploaded. :-(

Yeah, I don't have time to do a in-depth review, but from what I looked at
the last time, the package seems in a mostly good shape. Maybe Antoine can
take care of it now that you fixed the debconf issue?

If not, I'll try to upload it myself in the next few days.
