If work is committed in $VCS, then no work is piled up.
No need to generate buildd, mirror, and upgrade noise only to fix some

But YMMV.

Well, I didn't thought this request will turn into this type of
discussion.
Anyway, just to add my point of view : I mostly agree with Neil
position, as most of uploads should go to experimental during the

But, for this particular upload (and maybe some others), targeting
unstable is IMO

I removed these primarily to remove a `silent' dependency on gtk+1.2
when rebuilding the autotools (needing gtk+1.2 macros when this package
is primarily built against gtk+2.0)

I think I'm about done with the packaging of my flactag utility. Initially
I'd like someone who knows about these things to take a look over the

should have done.
Just for information, I plan on offering a .deb that's

what you need, so… enjoy).
