It's not yet in Karmic; that's why I asked. :-) (It's not in any
approval queue either, as far as I can see.)

You left debian/changelog~ and debian/Rprofile.site~ lying around in the
diff - presumably unintentional? I removed it, and uploaded your package
otherwise unmodified except for changelog updates. I'd like to get this
fixed for the 9.10 beta, hence the rush - Scott R, I hope I'm not
stepping on your toes.

Although I didn't change it for this upload since I wanted to discuss it
with you, I think that for Karmic it would be a good idea to put the
dependencies back the way they were before 2.9.2-2ubuntu1~ppa2, even if
they need to stay otherwise in your PPA; do you disagree? In particular,
if the dpkg dependencies are left the way they are at the moment then it
will be possible for partial upgrades to go wrong, AFAICS. I'd rather
give correct dependencies in Karmic precedence over installability on
Jaunty, at least for packages in the main archive.

Thanks,
