Hi Roman,
the situation with this package is a bit unlucky, as this upload was
rushed before I was DD during the freeze.
During initial packaging I sadly messed up the correct source name of
the package (which would be python-license-expression). The same is true
for the package boolean.py (should be python-boolean.py).
I plan to change the source package name, this also explain why the
Salsa links changed [1][2].
For boolean.py, there already is a upload to NEW [3]. After this
transition, I will do the same for license-expression.
Packaging the new version is no problem and in fact even removes some
(bundled thirdparty deps). The packaging is already done on Salsa.
Since I did not find anything particular useful in the policy regarding
source package renames (they happened before, e.g. gtk4), I'm not sure
if anything can be done here except waiting for a review from the
ftp-masters (which should be quick once they read the changelog). I
considered opening a bug against ftp.debian.org, but did not pursuit
this. Feel free to do so.
Regards
Stephan
