The following problem reports have not yet been marked as `taken up' by a
message to [email-masked] or or `forwarded' by a
message to [email-masked].

The maintainer listed against each package is derived from the Maintainer
field of the package as found in the development tree; there is an override
file that can be amended to get the right results if you have taken over a
package and do not expect to issue a new version soon.

Variant versions of the Maintainer field for the same actual package
