Maybe, but in additiona bugs regarding the mishandled build-dependencies
and dependencies should be filled as well. Packages without bumped
dependencies are _wrong_ wrt to our policy and wrt to linking sanity of
the shipped libraries.

IMO no, at least say, 10 days, but understand this is a matter of
personal taste.

If you already rebuilt everything externally why then ask for the NMU?
It would be easy to plug in the mechanism a tool that bump the depencies
as needed and, at that point, you can do a sourcefull NMU.
