cool!
for jessie, there's no need to go via SRM, *we* are maintaining jessie
now.
for stretch (and buster) I'm pondering whether we should do another
upload to unstable first, as I did a commit yesterday marking chromium
as unsupported in stretch. so I've come to conclude that I'll upload
this right away (it will just delay buster migration by a day) as this
change is pretty good to have for stretch.

so debsnap is buggy?
and anyway, do we need branches at all? can't you just do commit based
on master with a d/changelog entry and then save this as a tag, but not
as a branch?

Good! :)

if want, you can surely do this. Even without forking, just create a
branch el_cubano/WIP or some such and I can review that.

or that. I'm happy to review basically anything what I can review easily.
