When i started composing my ITP it was not retitled and you had not yet replied.
I was interrupted many times so it took me 15-20 to finish it.
I am not lying.

My ITP came on time, before any packaging.

Yes, too many people not really serious.
Your quick upload without any upstream/old-packager contact made me think
your were not.

I thought findind a aponsor was first required, i was wrong.
As you said i looked for a sponsor for many months, and i had no reply, so
i found unnecessary to "reserve" packages in advance.
When i got a sponsor, i did correct this quickly.
Arkhart is uploaded and waiting for approval, so u'd be able to have fun with
it soon :-). In the meantime, you can try slune.

I've already found a sponsor.
Thx for your proposal.
Please understand this was not a personnal attack.
There's so many people doing nasty things (like a so famous video player
packager) that i found really important to give a word on the situation.
When you find several ITPs filled more than 6 years ago and an official DD
"seems" not to mind about using the BTS properly, you may wonder about the
future of your prefered distribution.
Thx for your explanation and proposal.
