I will work on that this weekend.

Why is simply explained. For the packages in the salsa section debian DDs have
the right to make changes even against the intention of the maintainers and then
upload them without following the NMU rules. This is not my idea of teamwork.

The change from libsane to libsane1 requires IMHO a transition. Therefore only
in experimental.

Thanks.

The patches are not numbered according to the order in which they are processed,
but according to groups such as build system, source, CVE and Debian specific
patches.
Normally I forward almost all patches. After lintian complained about the
missing entry forwarded as a warning, I added not-needed for old patches. After
moving sane to GitLab I don't have direct access to the old bug reports
anymore.

I am missing the second signing of my key by a DD. I live here near the oldest
city in Germany, but for Debian far away from everything.
