Yay, thanks!

Thanks for the praise. Unfortunately with a missing character in my
family name. :-/ (But yeah, it's a common typo and I'm used to it.)

Oh, I considered it just a normal bug report with ideas how to maybe
fix it. :-)

Cool!

Ah, sorry. I was aware of this, because the file name which was
reported and the file which needed to be patched had different file
suffixes (*.src vs *.wml). I just mentioned "upstream" to explain the
reason for the need to patch instead of just editing the files.

Huh?

Ah, this probably also explains why
https://lintian.debian.org/tags.html misses some of the new tags. I
searched for "breakout-link" in it for a reference to upstream several
times the past few days.
