Hello Fabrice,

retrieving whatsnew.txt from the net is just a quick fix for the current release. Upstream maintainers didn't bother to repack the zipfile, but it will be back with 0.137. Putting whatsnew.txt in debian would require some changes in debian/rules. If you feel it would be cleaner, however, I'll do it and upload an updated package.

It seems I can't catch up with Standard-version: I forgot to bump it on karmic first release too. :)

I didn't know about the README.source file. I was told it would have been enough mentioning repacking in debian/changelog. Can you please point me to some info on what it it should contain? You can do it yourself if you like, however I'd like to understand things better. ;)

Thanks for all your help, which I really appreciate! :)
Cesare.
