Ok, but I don't think these bugs will be staying open for a long time
anyway. I was going to take responsibility for them if they lingered.
Sorry for not doing the correct thing; I had said that I would be filing
bugs in an earlier message and no-one complained.
In other news, Joerg Jaspert has asked me to consider NOT using the
soname in the library source name, and so I have asked him to reject
yesterday's upload, which he has done. I will be uploading "libforms"
in a few hours (I'm still at work) but the binary package names won't
change from yesterday's upload, just the source package name.
(I don't particularly like packaging libraries and would be happy for an
interested party to take this one over. I may be out of Debian in 5
weeks anyway... My old key will stop working.)
