+Well, people wouldn't have to build and install the bindings, _if_ they\r

+\r
+That's why they're feature requests.  \r
+\r
+On the other hand, there is some time to clean things up since I won't\r
+upload new packages to Debian before the next notmuch release. And I do\r
+consider uploading a package to Debian to be an extra personal\r
+responsibility, especially when it is part of notmuch that I am not\r
+maintaining.\r
+\r
+all the best,\r
