RCBW - #20

With a couple of days of delay, here are this last week squashes, by yours truly:

Debian bug #567767 - nxml-mode - request removal, integrated into emacs23

Debian bug #546764 - d-feet - add missing dep on hicolor-icon-theme

Debian bug #566290 - php-wikidiff2 - add missing dep/substvar on phpapi-*

Debian bug #567860 - php-net-ping - sponsored fix (+ upstream release) for DM maintainer

Debian bug #248275 - anteater - proposed removal

Debian bug #536285 - mirage - avoid tricking users to delete the wrong file (patch by Evgeni Golov)

The delay is due to FOSDEM, it's hard to squash bugs when you are: (1) having fun (best FOSDEM ever, if you ask me), (2) connected with very poor network connectivity (let's say: FOSDEM-quality network). Also, there are just 6 squashes, but last week there were 8, so ... (I know, I suck).

Among the main highlights of the week, I just want to cite Mehdi Dogguy: he was with me at JFLA 2010 last week and I've managed to grab him into the "RCBW tunnel". With a handful of well-targeted NMUs, he has fixed about 10 RC bugs in the few days of the conference. He is too shy to blog about that, but since I'm evil, I'm disclosing it here Welcome on board, Mehdi! (now you're doomed: you must continue doing that!)
