Congratulations, Jussi!

I am currently overwhelmed with my thesis, but I am looking forward to
testing it and helping with packaging for Ubuntu.

As far as the blobs are concerned, according to my recent communication
with Dmitry there is still an ongoing effort to gather the documentation
for them, but this is extremely problematic and he can't give any ETA on
when this is going to be completed.
