Uploaded, thanks for your contribution to Debian!
If you haven't done so already, please subscribe to the
debian-backports list; this is where bugs against backported packages
are supposed to be reported, and it'll be your job as maintainer of
your backported package to respond to these bug reports and any other
user queries. Thanks!
Regards,
Vincent
