Dear maintainer,
This package needs a no-change upload to rebuild it against dh-elpa
>=2.1.5. This is because binNMUs cannot be used to rebuild arch:all
packages.
The update is needed to resolve a problem for users upgrading between
stable releases. In some circumstances, old .elc files can be left
behind, and Emacs will try to load them. In the best case there will
be warnings that the .el file cannot be found, so the .eln file cannot
be produced. In the worst case the package could break.
This is an RC bug because it's a Policy violation to leave the files
behind upon removal of the old version.
Please do something like this:
% dch Rebuild against newer dh-elpa.
% dch -r
% git commit debian/changelog -mchangelog
and upload.
Thanks.
