Thanks; please feel free to upload that, with a small tweak: +publicsuffix (20160703-0+deb8u1) stable; urgency=medium + + * prepare for stable-proposed-updates.

Thanks for that, but we'd still prefer p-u bug reports to be free-standing.

Every couple of months is when we aim (not always successfully) to do a stable point release, so that hopefully works out well all around. Regards, Adam
