mailscanner and debian woody 3.0

[Julian Field]

Oh dear, what have you done?
MailScanner can't even find its own code. The first line of the main
MailScanner script should say where the rest of the MailScanner code is to
be found.

Can any Debian guys out there help him out? He's clearly got into a bit of
a mess.
And does anyone fancy the job of sorting out the Debian package and keeping
it up to date please?

Oh yes it does! It's in the 130,000 or so copies that everyone before you
downloaded.
