The maintainer is the one who decides when to do an upload and which
changes to include. You should give the maintainer time to respond before
doing a source NMU. Everything else is very bad style (and the
Developer's Reference says that it's wrong).
BTW: I always wanted to do a NMU for XFree86, perhaps I can find a problem
that I can solve by doing a source NMU... ;-)
