Oh, I've missed the fact that I indeed have commit rights to libnova through astro-sig... so I'll use my PP rights just to rebuild stellarium (kstars is under astro-sig too and the other packages I maintain them directly). If that's not ok neither, I will ask stellarium maintainers to rebuild the package under the side-tag when ready.
