Maybe, but it' still an NMU, only if it's for one architecture. Please
kepp this in mind. And if you make a NMU, it doesn't matter what kind
of, you first have to contact the maintainer about this.

This isn't okay for me. If I don't get a notice of the NMU and the
maintainer, who wants to do the NMU, waits long enough, I will be angry
and will definitely tell him that. And just because you have been away
for a week, nobody is allowed to NMU, without notifying and asking you
if it's okay.
