First of all, I don't see any valid reason why ftp-master would reject that upload. There are certainly more packages which are not binNMUable. Plus binNMUs don't make any sense because the library packages are arch all packages, which need a sourceful upload anyway.
If we have to uglify the release string, then please just add a "c" instead of "cross". On 13.01.19 05:36, YunQiang Su wrote: > Ohhh. wrong patches attached.
