Hi Aurélien Nice to see you back doing yaboot work! However this upload is very unfortunate. Do you still follow debian-devel-announce and do you know that we are currently in deep-freeze and according to the freeze exception policy posted by the release team [1] this upload has very little chance of being accepted into squeeze. I did not see any consultation with the release team before your upload. Thias means that the fixes for the RC bugs against yaboot need to go through testing-proposed-updates and that's not they way the release team likes things to be done...

I'm currently in the process of sponsoring an NMU from Milan Kupcevic to fix the yaboot RC bugs. Milan can you add your patches to the BTS? What are your plans for yaboot in squeeze? IMO this is at the moment the most pressing issue. Milan is willing to act as a co-maintainer for yaboot. Can you add him to the alioth project?
