It's just that the latest upstream version of *that package* has started bundling a third-party library that wasn't used in any way before. Now the question is do I package the software the upstream bundles (the one without proper releases or documentation)? If so, may I allow the bundling until such time as that package (the one that is bundled by upstream) clears NEW? Sorry for the confusion. Best, Gard
