Running DeVeDe 3.17.0 on a machine with Oneiric Ocelot installed (rather
than Precise Pangolin, not sure that Mr Shuttleworth & his associates are
entirely sober when they choose these release names) with the same
.devedeconfig file produces a flawless result.

The dvdauthor package version there is 0.7.0-1.1 (& spumux identifies
itself as 0.7.0).

The versions of the same on Pangolin are 3.21.0 & 0.7.0-1.1build1
(spumuxalso identifies itself as 0.7.0).

Since at this point I have no idea why this breakage happens, when I have
time, I’ll attempt running dvdauthor on Pangolin with the Ocelot-generated
files.
