Not ignored. I tried to reach you multiple times. At that time it was
even about 1.3.0-1.1~bpo70+1 which didn't make any sense to me from that
point of view (thus also the reject message I wrote), and given that I
never received feedback for a few tries to reach you I went around to
reject it. I guess the upload for jessie-backports did clash with that
somehow and was a mistake. Sorry about that.

Yes, see that now. But it was overcast by the 1.3.0-1.1 backport
upload that led to that impression. My bad, please re-upload it, it of
course makes a lot of sense given that it got removed from stable.
So long,
