[Melissa Draper <melissa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've uploaded new patches with the requested alterations to
debian/control and debian/changelog.

Did francois' comment above regarding Debian maintenance contain
sufficient information regarding your query about the DEP-5 headers?

Is there anything else specific we need to do to get this reviewed and
sponsored by the security team?

Thanks,
Melissa.
