No. I even /topic'ed it in OPN, but someone decided it was not something
worth keeping there and deleted it.
I Bcc'ed this message to d-d-announce, but it was rejected. That list is
supposed to accept and relay GPG-signed messages of anyone in the Debian
keyring, so I have no idea of who, or what broke it.

Some IRC people knew. Since the topic was erased, lots of them didn't. And
I wouldn't have known about it either, if not for the fact that the crypto
working group did get (sort of) notified. Communication between the
hundreds of heads has never been a strong point of Debian.

Nah, do it anyway, upload them, and post to -devel the location of the files
if there is a need. This way, your packages will go in faster when non-us
comes back.
BTW, processing of "NEW" packages in main is disabled, too. For how long, I
have no idea.
