I'm not claiming this is a plot or something intentional, I know it's just a mistake, and everybody makes mistakes. Had you consulted the tracker page for the package, you would have seen that an upload had recently happened and that it was team-maintained, that's all about it. And I'm in no way trying to deter you from updating packages from the team. Quite the contrary, since you have commit rights on all the team's repositories. You are more than welcome to contribute to those packages, as long as you follow the team practices (which essentially means sticking to the git workflow using git-buildpackage). -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Sébastien Villemot ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian Developer ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ http://sebastien.villemot.name ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://www.debian.org
