[Bug 286146] Re: Please sync docvert 3.4-6 (universe) from Debian unstable (main).

(I am the Debian maintainer of this package)

I'd like to request a freeze exception for the docvert source package (which
includes docvert and docvert-openoffice.org).

The latest version in sid (3.4-6) fixes the following serious problems:

  - Debian #502322: initscript hangs the boot process (release-critical)

  - missing dependency of docvert-openoffice.org on docvert (this is
    required and docvert-openoffice.org won't work without it)

  - initscript could kill openoffice processes belonging to other
    users

And it also contains trivial fixes for the following problems:

  - Debian #493334: check that docvert is installed when running the cronjob
  - Debian #489796: capitalization change to the small description
  - initscript was referring to the wrong names in the LSB comments

As it is, the docvert package is severely broken and I would highly
recommend that it be synced from unstable.
