Hi,

Thanks for doing the commit and upload.  

One issue I saw, though, was that the Debian changelog got messed up a
little bit.  Apparently, when Jeff Bailey did the NMU at Debcamp, he
made the version be 1.0.7-2 instead of 1.0.7-1.1.  Then after moving
the project into alioth, Christian started a different entry for
1.0.7-2.  This version was never released, as far as I can tell, but
those changes first showed up in 1.0.7-3.

So, there's duplicate entries about the changes to make surfraw
lintian-clean, for instance.  And the two 'Closes' in the 1.0.7-2
entry never got processed by the BTS.  I went ahead and tagged those
changes as fixed in the BTS (along with the bug dealing with the imdb
elvi).

By the way, the upload marked all the bugs as fixed in NMU, rather
than actually closing them.  I know why that is (the BTS saw that you
did the upload instead of Christian), but should it be that way
(since Christian is a part of this whole thing)?  Should those bugs
just be closed manually?  And, if this isn't the way it should be,
what should we do to make sure it doesn't happen this way in the
future?

Also by the way, can you add me to the list of developers on alioth?

Thanks,
