Thanks for the clarification. What is the last date for uploading 10.6.3
before final freeze? There is one small bug fix on main for appearance
stream generation that I might want to release, but I'll wait and see if
anything else shows up.

Title:
  qpdf 10.6.2 not syncing (freeze exception?)

Status in qpdf package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm noticing that qpdf-10.6.1 is not syncing from Debian even though,
  as far as I can see, automatic sync freeze has not yet happened. There
  are some major changes in 10.6 that I would really like to get into
  Ubuntu because they include transitional code to help users migrate to
  qpdf 11.

  Is there something that needs to happen for this to sync? I don't want
  to miss the window.

  At this time, there are test failures in pikepdf because of a bug fix
  to qpdf in transcoding. We have determined that these test failures
  don't indicate a serious problem with either qpdf or pikepdf -- they
  are basically that pikepdf had some tests that were depending on
  incorrect qpdf functionality. For details, see
  https://github.com/pikepdf/pikepdf/issues/303

  The pikepdf author is aware of the upcoming Ubuntu 22.04 freeze and is
  trying to get a fix in in time, but I'm hoping we can avoid getting
  into a situation where we miss the bus. There's a chance I might
  release 10.6.2 to fix one other minor transcoding issue, but I don't
  consider the issue to be important enough to justify a release. But if
  the pikepdf author wants a release to simplify his testing, I will do
  it.
