Thanks for the note. I've started with ossp-uuid.
We're currently aiming for a sid upload on August 12th or so, but will
check the status in a couple of weeks (late July) to see if the open
bug count allows that. If it doesn't, the transition will probably
need to be postponed until September (read: after DebConf.)
I've just filed half a dozen new perl-5.20-transition bugs but I hope
those are just about the last ones to crop up.
Help with patches / NMUs is very welcome!
