John, I hope you are alone with your temptation ...
The e-mail I sent made several exceptions from the freeze, one of them
fixing RC reports. So yes, you are supposed to fix these problems
yourself. As I introduced this RC in 0.5.1-5.1, I fixed it in
0.5.1-5.2.
Unfortunately I did not get any response from you asking for NMU's for
forg and gnupginterface.
