You mean everything that matches

Do you consider this as very important? I'd regard uploading emboss as
quick as possible. In case the freeze will prevent new embassy we might
most probably sort this out with release team.

I noticed that the result of current packaging has a real lot of lintian
warnings which are partially easy to fix. There is also one remaining
lintian error (after making sure every package installs a changelog
file):
E: emboss-lib: embedded-library usr/lib/emboss/lib/libepcre.so.7.0.9: pcre3
I'm also unsure whether I should quilt push+refresh the patches.
I wonder how invasive I should work on this package.
Kind regards
Andreas.
