 Argh, that blows... the file is still there in my repository.
 Something stopped installing it and I didn't notice.  I have fixed it
 for sid.  The fix is one line and it applies to sarge, too.  I might
 upload something to proposed-updates, but I think that's strictly for
 security stuff, which means sarge is going to be stuck a few years with
 this bug :-(
