Hi Leopold,

Yes, there was a misunderstanding, but ultimately, I am the one who did
the release, so, I could have tried to fix things. The truth is that I
simply forgot the issue you reported. So, mea culpa.

As for maintaing two debian directories, this is a bad idea, as long as
we can make one which works for all releases, this is simply less work.
So, let us keep it that way.

Regards.
