Yeah, foser's on holiday. Good time to push the GLEP through.

Good. Does this mean I can start pushing for UTF-8 again?

The only reason certain arch teams are considered a bottleneck is
because they do real testing. As opposed to x86 or ppc, where packages
which won't even unpack get marked stable...
