Thanks!  I tagged shishi-debian CVS with shishi_0-0-30_1.

Oh, I see.  Looks fine now.  Btw, I am a bit uncertain about this
part:

Debian packaging copyright:

    The package files are copyright 2005, 2006 Simon Josefsson and may
    be redistributed and/or modified under the terms of the GNU
    General Public License as published by the Free Software
    Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option)
    any later version.

Especially given this:

Is the following change ok with you?

Debian packaging copyright:

    The package files were written by Simon Josefsson and Russ
    Allbery, and are copyright 2005, 2006, and may be redistributed
    and/or modified under the terms of the GNU General Public License
    as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of
    the License, or (at your option) any later version.

I thought about using a more abstract 'The Debian Shishi team' as
author and copyright holder, but that is a poorly defined legal
entity, so probably problematic.  Further improvements or ideas
appreciated.
