That is already in Debian, so I don't see what you mean there. You
mean an upload just changing Maintainer and/or Uploader lines?

IMHO, we also cannot stay frozen on s48 1.3 forever because slime48 is
not following and never will. If you think slime48 is that important,
then at most do two parallel packages of 1.3 and "latest", but I
wouldn't bother in your shoes - just latest.

I don't think you understood me correctly: I will not be a reliable
sponsor for the months to come. You need to find another sponsor. So
tagging them no-sponsor-need doesn't seem a good idea to me.
