Okay, I've been using your official package as I'm running Debian Sid.
Is Sid "frozen" until Etch's release?

Everything looked fine except that the zone portion of the exchange
was imported along with the RS and the spacing was retained. Perhaps,
if the fields can be determined, it would be nice to allow the user to
decide if non RS parts of the exchange are imported or not. On the
other hand, contests that don't include RS could pose a problem.
Perhaps the exchange could be put at the end of the Remarks section?

END-OF-LOG:
This is from a very old version of TLF which probably won't be
encountered any more.
Imported raw TLF logs have the unfortunate side effect of the RS and
exchange being run together, which probably isn't good for eQSL log
uploads.
