OK, I agree that making it available in a point release is a much
better way for debian-lan-config. I'll try that path from now on.

Sure. It was not my intention to 'work against the rules'. When I
did the first upload, I checked the rules, and at that time I
considered it fine (testing == stable just after release). For some
reason I did not think about the point release path. And in the
successive uploads, I did not reflect the issue again.

Yes, and sorry about the mess I created for you (the backports ftp
masters). Thanks for your work.
Best regards,
Andi
