Robert,

I think you meant Gary!

I also note that the _na_sd grabber requires Digest::SHA1 which was
deprecated years ago on Debian [1] and Ubuntu, in favour of the core
Perl module Digest::SHA.

  [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=594273

That is a significant issue for packaging and should (IMHO) be
resolved before any release.

Cheers,
Nick
