D'ohh! How silly of me. Makes perfect sense.

OK, I won't worry about that, then.

I think I'd rather keep it as a team effort for now - I'm fairly new to
Devuan (and to the whole Debian family) having been primarily Gentoo for
a couple of decades. My impression so far is that, while the actual
packaging process is much simpler on Gentoo, the maintainer role is far
better supported here on Devuan, by this very helpful community. As I
gain familiarity and confidence, I may reconsider, but for now I don't
feel ready to be "the maintainer" of the package.

Cheers,

Rob
