Oh thanks Sergio.
By the time I sent the email to Debian FTP Master, my "dbab" still
exist on Debian. I.e., --
When I get the bug=903065 notice,
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=903065
I fixed it right away.
Since it was in Debian before, do I still have to go through the usual
process of putting it on mentors.debian.net, creating
a RFS and finding a sponsor?
Maybe, but hope not...
Would you like to sponsor me please Sergio?
