I updated the Pysparse svn repository earlier today (revision 124). Oz's
code now terminates with appropriate error messages. What is best for
you? Are you able to grab the svn tree to package the source into a deb or
would you rather a tar.gz of the source tree? I admit I've been relying on
svn so far and haven't released the source tree much.

Ah I misunderstood that. Oz was trying to package Pysparse into a deb at
some point, which is why I thought he was still the package author. Thank
you for your help. I'll mention on the website that a deb is now available.
