Hi, David and Sano,

I am not the linuxdoc-tools maintainer, but have been doing some
Non-Maintainer uploads recently. I still have some things pending to try,
but am waiting until etch is released. After that I will happily take care
of that if Taketoshi Sano is busy.

Nice to know that linuxdoc is back. Please note that Debian linuxdoc-tools
has a lot of changes wrt last official version, most of them by Taketoshi
Sano and some of them by others including me. Is somebody else maintaining
it upstream, or we should do as currently, trying to fix bugs after the old
last official version?

I agree with you regarding the extension of the long description, but I
think that is better to know what current maintainer thinks about that.

Thanks anyway for your help offer about that, and of course also for your
info, fixes and suggestions.
