The risk seems low; I and other Debian developers have been using the
current C libraries for a couple weeks now and they are working nicely.

I have the username "djw".  I have uploaded my ssh version 1 public key.
Is there another key I need to upload?

I just got called out for an emergency at my organic garden on the other
side of town.  I should be back within three hours.  How about I email
you then?  I can be reached by email, or at the phone number in the
signature of this email.  I will leave my client idling in #savannah on
irc.gnu.org.  I look forward to seeing you there when I get back.

And I'll be grateful for being given the opportunity :-)

Future emails will be to you only; henceforth I'm trimming the Cc list.

Cheers!
