[src:backintime] Upload despite Hard Freeze (no response from maintainer/uploader)

[<c.buhtz@posteo.jp>]

Hello,
My apologize for asking something like this on your list. But I don't
got any response from the maintainer or uploader of the package
"backintime", where I am the upstream maintainer of.

I would like to get advice from you, how to proceed further.

I am aware that Debian is currently in Hard Freeze. Back In Time has a
bug [1] that IMHO should get fixed before Trixie release.
The fix is out with version 1.5.5, containing only that fix. Current
version in Trixie is 1.5.4.

The bug will affect a serious amount of users without having an easy
workaround. So they are better with having the fixed version.

Thank you very much for the help.
Regards,
Christian Buhtz
