I usually doesn't remove an upload, but move it to my home dir and I
inform whoever made the upload of course. I'm rarely interested enough
to make a new upload in place of the faulty NMUer but I like removing
the NMU because you never know when he will read his mail.
The fact that he should be available doesn't make it reality ... you
NMU friday evening at the beginning of the BSP and then you go away for
the WE ... just an example. :)

Not very nice because the NMUer will have his upload rejected after
having it accepted the first time. :)

I have already been asked that, I was too lazy to move it myself.
It would be neat if the maintainer could do it himself. That's just so
straightforward ..

What does it cost to remove that sticky bit on those directories ?
