Removed some addresses on the Cc: list, as subsurface listmaster is
complaining about too many.  I hope the people behind the removed
addresses are subscribed to the subsurface mailinglist anyway.

It would maybe be a good idea to only keep:

	subsurface at hohndel.org, 701536 at bugs.debian.org

on the Cc: list.

That sounds very nice, because I'm gessing a wheezy backport will be
begged for.
