Hi Seb,

thanks for your quick reply.

I have to say that I failed to see a difference between loglevel=0 and
loglevel=2. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

This is both disappointing and bad. Disappointing, because it is still
lacking important bits like basic usage of eugene (if you don't want to
dig into the source).

It is also bad, because the documentation should *always* be bundled
with the package. Good reasons for this are:
1) The user may not have an internet connection.
2) The website may go away.
3) The documentation on the website may refer to another version.

You have two choices for the documentation on eugene: It is either
non-existant or referes to another version, so point 3 is actually the
case!
http://alip.github.com/2009/12/26/bringing-lastfm-home/ could be
considered as eugene documentation, but eugene update no longer exists.

You may also want to reread the debian policy section 12.1. For instance
it explicitly declares it to be a bug to have a binary without a
manpage. I can report those if you like.

If you prefer to referring to online documentations, please file a
serious bug against your package to prevent testing migration. You
should see this as a service for stable users who would be unable to use
mpdcron for reasons 1 to 3.

Helmut
