Hi Gianfranco,
Thanks for your very nice patch.
I asked upstream/debian maintainer, they said:
суб 15 17:19 < proycon> joostvb_: ja, zeker! prima
[ "yes sure, excellent" ] about you taking care of the upload in an NMU. If
you prefer not to, that's fine too and Ko van der Sloot, Maarten "proycon" van
Gompel, Ko van der Sloot or I myself will take care of it.
the upload can wait, there is no real rush since right now this is non ftbfs.
You might also consider lowering this bug to non RC, as you wish, as long as
eventually it gets fixed.
Also I had to open a similar one related to mbt #1100578, same issue.
Will check later src:frog too :)
G.
Thanks! Bye,
Joost
