It was the same thing. We both received a NMU without having been 
contacted first.
Moreover the patch proposed in the fuse NMU diff was broken and added a 
useless dependency without fixing the real issue.
That's what I was a bit upset and I now admit I shouldn't have been.
I agree with Lucas, I'm not the only packager that had trouble with NMUs.

After some talk on debian-devel-fr@irc, it seems that some french 
developpers didn't like me at all before and they now admit most of 
things I did before may be forgotten. Seems some time must past before 
they really trust me, so let's wait one year before doing anything else.
