Thanks for taking care of this.
This package needs some love - I have a branch of changes I need to
release,l too - but I will attend to chiark-utils first.
Ian.
PS long dgit plug, which you are free to ignore:
You might want to consider doing your NMUs with dgit. Every package
can be NMU'd that way for a change like this - see dgit-nmu-simple(7).
I almost never upload other than with dgit nowadays, and the last time
I had to use the traditional approach I was startled by how much
nonsense (even of my own design) I had forgotten and had to look up.
(Personally, also, I would have preferred if you had done it that way,
since I think that we all have duty to publish our source code
properly. But I think it would be curmudgeonly of me to *complain* to
you about that - both because this is not a principle that Debian as a
whole has accepted, and because your conduct of this whole project has
generally been so excellent. For the avoidance of doubt not using
dgit doesn't cause me any practical problem here, given that I'm happy
to just wait for your DELAYED upload to appear. So don't consider
this a complaint. Thanks again for your work!)
Finally, FYI since I as maintainer use dgit it is quite difficult for
me to accidentally make an upload which drops changes from an NMU.
When the maintainer always uses dgit, this could happen only if the
NMU went to DELAYED *and* wasn't made with dgit. (When that's
happened, there is no sane machine-accessible way to detect the
upload.)
