Hello Jordi,

Thanks for pushing 2.8.5 into unstable (instead of experimental).
That will get us much wider testing.  :)

One thing: on https://packages.debian.org/sid/nano the description
of nano has been unchanged for probably more than a decade.  Since
then, nano has acquired a few features that might be worth mentioning.
I would suggest replacing the bullet list with this one:

  - undo/redo;
  - line numbering;
  - syntax coloring;
  - soft-wrapping of overlong lines;
  - selecting text by holding Shift;
  - interactive search and replace (with regular expression support);
  - a go-to line (and column) command;
  - support for multiple file buffers;
  - auto-indentation;
  - tab completion of filenames and search terms;
  - toggling features while running;
  - and full internationalization support.

Benno
