It seems I have a small patch which enables deluge 1.1.9 to use a geoip database from a system wide installation path. I'm planning to upload a new package revision including this patch and deleting the database from the deluge-core binary package. But I'd like to avoid repackaging the source tarball as it is already repackaged (1.1.9+dfsg) and this would mean breaking the version history with an epoch bump, I thought. I hope this can be avoided, given the upstream awareness of the problem and the upcoming fixed release 1.2. Of course, I'm not going to close this bug until it would be "properly" fixed. Would this be acceptable? Thanks, -- Cristian Greco GPG key ID: 0x0C095825
