For next time, if you ping the bug, the timer gets reset. Which also
happens when the upload that fixes the bug gets accepted. Because this
confused me, I took a look at the times in the bug, and it seems you
uploaded the package *after* it got removed.

Is it just me, or did you suggest a different time line? If so, why?

Not instability, no, but you uploaded a different version of upstream,
so there can be a whole load of new bugs. Couldn't you just fix the
FTBFS by patching the original version in Debian? That would make
reviewing a lot easier.
