[Seems like the mail servers of Debian were out yesterday, sending again] Hi Graham, I have some questions in return.

Are you sure? I believe the NEW queue is ONLY accessible to the ftp-masters, as uploads might contain non-distributable material, and the task of the ftp-masters is exactly to prevent that entering Debian. So if that is possible, you are talking to an ftp-master, right? Then we could just make an Ubuntu version of the package instead. Furthermore, the feature freeze has already past for a long time, so usually Ubuntu does not allow such large changes. Who are you communicating with about this effort, please include me in the communication. Last point, I think if we would do this, I would just upload a -2 version. But I think it would put us back on the agenda. What I think is that the ftp-masters are reluctant to look at it, but as it gets closer to the old side of the list, it will get attention. > Is there anything that needs to be done in wnpp bug #695130 [2]? No. All information (I think) is in the bug report and it will be automatically closed by our upload (my first entry in the changelog for 2.3.4-1).
