This is now done.

Note that there are some nitpicks but I didn't block on them as they 
only are on debian/copyright. The code itself is fine. and now migrating 
from proposed to the release pocket.

I'm listing those nitpicks here. Please fix those in a followup upload:
* pim-data-exporter has in debian/copyright:           2003, Laurence 
Anderson. However, there is no trace of Laurence using her copyright in 
any of the source file.
-> please remove that line.
* In general, the packaging has a different license file than the 
upstream source (packaging is LGPL, sources are GPL + GFDL), but I 
understand that those packages are split and rename from another one. 
The result is that the upstream source tarball ships COPYING.LGPL where 
the source doesn't have any file with that license.
* Similarly, the GDFL license (COPYING.DOC) is shipped in some upstream 
source tarballs that don't have any files under that license like in 
pim-storage-service-manager.
-> Please get a correct release without the unecessary license files

Sorry again for the delay, and I hope that will get you unblock!
Cheers,
Didier
