My bad. I should put 'apt-get update' into cron.

Sent it. Seems I can't include control into message to
826639@bugs.debian.org

I considered some of them. Other require more prolonged
experimentation on my side and communication with upstream. I am not
aganist to defer them to -2 revision.

New concept for me. Will read.
