To be honest, I don't really care about Midori in Debian anymore. It has
been NMU-ed for #645191 but, honestly, I'm a bit unsure about the patch.

In #645191 there's a quite long explanation about how hard it is to
reliably unpack waf, bruteforcing C1/C2 characters etc. But the NMu and
http://wiki.debian.org/UnpackWaf basically say “just pick whatever there
is between #==> and #<==.

FTPmasters apparently didn't really care about that (or maybe they just
didn't pay attention). So maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. I have no
idea, and as I don't really understand how messing with waf makes
ftpmasters happy, I completely refrain myself to do it.

So all in all, I think you should contact Koichi Akabe (who NMU'ed
midori). Considering the current situation, it's very likely that I'll
just remove myself from the Uploaders.
