There were like 20 packages in the same situation, reported by Julien Cristau in -devel. I announced the possible NMUs in -devel and CC'ed -release. There have been no formal objection by the release team to this specific and kinda extraordinary process (I think they roughly give me credit for not doing stupid things when it comes at i18n stuff). This in about 3-4 days. Then I announced that I would be uploading these NMUs "before the end of the week-end"...then confirmed that with mails to <package>@packages.debian.org Given the available free time, I agree that no bugs were reported for these problems but, again, this has been accepted as very exceptional situation and, given that the release might happen any time now, we had no time for a detailed process. The lack of objection by the release team has been taken as an approval. I don't really see much problem: the NMU is correct...and you, as maintainer, have the diff. And, more importantly, the problem is fixed. No need to tell me "don't do this again". For two reasons: in normal time, I wouldn't follow this process....and if the very same situation happened, I would do *exactly* the same.
