I love quality bug reports with quality patches!

Thank you very much, I have applied your patch in full, and you should see the
changes in -43.

Qmail was removed from testing for an RC bug that I have fixed, and a
regression, but I am working on getting that repaired.  This release should
help in that regard.

I have also made a couple more updates that should clear up some of those
lintian errors.

Thanks again!

Jon
