Comment:
Smoothing user experience by eliminating some sudo probs and gpg keyserver unset

  Now I can contact the maintainer of the package (as listed in the debian/control file or revealed by dpkg -s etc.) directly, copying the message to the [[http://lists.debian.org/debian-med/|mailing list]].  If I explain my changes clearly the maintainer will see that they are correct and a push the changes through to Debian.  These can go into Debian Sid immediately filter through to Debian Testing and the Ubuntu development release in short order.
