Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

I had just edited the sync message and had hit send. Guessing that non-ascii characters are playing a role here.

Text of the sync request:

Sync kvirc 4:4.0.0~svn3989+rc2-1 (universe) from Debian testing (main)

Description:
Please sync kvirc 4:4.0.0~svn3989+rc2-1 (universe) from Debian testing (main)
This snapshot has a lot of bugfixes, and we should try to get as close to a
stable release as possible since kvirc is still prerelease. It's migrated to
Debian testing, so it should be fairly safe.

Changelog entries since current lucid version 4:4.0.0~svn3900+rc2-1:

kvirc (4:4.0.0~svn3989+rc2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  The "Worldwake" release.

  * Synced to upstream's SVN revision 3989:
    - A lot of bug fixes (including crashes/segmentation faults).
    - Russian transaltion update.
    - Fixes for cppcheck-found errors.
  * debian/kvirc.lintian-overrides: Added "spelling-error-in-binary" for
    "./usr/lib/kvirc/4.0/modules/libkvilanguage.so" which is a false positive.
  * debian/copyright: Reproduce GPLv1 in full text, as it's not in
    common-licenses.
  * debian/README.Debian: Added a note about Python support.
  * debian/patches/30_r3902_update_motd.patch: Dropped, was taken from
    upstream.
  * debian/rules:
    - Fixed get-orig-source target.
    - Set MANUAL_REVISION dynamically (we determine the revision anyway).
