Thanks, Lucien.  This package is from the extras repo.  Does that make a 
difference?

Also, I understand what you're saying.  But (and this is not to you in 
particular, rather to "the system") rather than having to join yet 
another mailing list just to report a problem... and then send an email 
to everyone on that list, why couldn't the package give an email address 
like bugs@[whatever_repo] to send a report to.
