Thanks for the report. However, I'm not updating it now, since it's a pre-release -- fixing the release monitoring to only consider stable versions instead.

I'm wondering why not release a stable version then? Are you in touch with upstream; do you know why they didn't do an actual stable release? > Debian patches(debian/patches/*) for 30.pre9: > http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wireless-tools/wireless- > tools_30~pre9-8.debian.tar.gz Seems like they've done quite some patching. I'd really prefer to see a released version rather than cherry-picking the patches.
