Re: O: libapache-request-perl

[ivan@420.am]

My apologies for jumping the gun; you haven't responded to any bugs on
your package in almost a year; others had to NMU for the 1.0 version and
the Perl 5.8.0 transition, neither of which you acknowledged.  As the
package still has a maintainer I look forward to the 1.1 package. 
Thanks.

p.s. the crack is excellent, other than its tendancy to cause momentary
lapses in judgement, thanks for asking.
