That makes me smile. I am a proponent of the strong maintainer model as long as it is working well. Note that to migrate to testing it is going to need an unblock request. Hopefully, Jonathan Wiltshire, who uploaded it, will file one. Looking at recent requests that have been approved for KDE packages for less serious things, I would imaging it would be approved. For example: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1107340 c.buhtz, if Jonathan doesn’t file an unblock request, it is perfectly appropriate for you to do so. -- Soren Stoutner soren@debian.org
