Slowly, please. I was not trying to paternalise you, I was merely trying to
point out that your classification of 'severe, release critical' was a little
out of place given that
- the bug was already fixed
- the bug only occurred because you (unknowingly) pushed the
enveloppe by putting an 'unstable' package on 'stable'.
Further, and as you had said [ same email, few lines above ]

Again, I recommend that you simply take things a little easier and try to
learn how Debian works. It is obvious to everybody but you that uploading a
version 1.2-4 of a package replaces version 1.2-3 of the same package.

Dirk
