The source as it is now in the master branch of the git repository looks
okay. The reasons I think that the source is okay are the following:
1. We are using it nearly daily and have not found problems.
2. Several others are using it too, and have not reported problems.
(Yes, there are issues, but these are not because of bugs).

And yes, once you decide that the package meets the Debian copyright
rules, I am ready to make a 4.3 release.

I feel that it is important to have this package in Debian, because once
it is in Debian, it then also goes into all the Debian derived Linux
distributions.
