You're welcome. My work is for Debian. Your package of gs is a important
component in Debian for users who writes and prints out documents on
their Debian system, I think. At least it is so for me.

You came back just in time for freeze and release. It is lucky for us,
users of your gs package.

Thanks. Please take care that I made mistake in debian/rules of my 
experimental "5.10-2.0.vflib.2". Please apply following patch:

 extract:


Please check that you have downloaded 5.10-2.0.vflib.2, not vflib.1.
vflib.1 is not lintian-free and FHS-ready. vflib.2 is ready for upload.

And there are some documents and copyright notice in the source for 
kanji support and jpdriver support to be fixed. I am now working to
solve them. I think they are not so serious and not release critical
problem, but I think that I should inform you about them.

I am looking forward to get your new gs with kanji and jpdrivers support.
Thank you for your maintainer's work.

Sincerely.
