I think I did that after having uploaded the revert, but I might be misremembering. Either way, I felt uncomfortable with the amount of changes/the diff while reviewing udebs this weekend, so I decided to skip it. Feel free to ask for a decruft, I can then get it into testing so that new archs get into a better shape, even if that introduces some risks for other archs. Mraw, KiBi.
