Wondering if this message was just overlooked, or if the release team
has a reason to ignore it?

Thanks, and sorry for the bother.
best regards,

Hi release team,

Could you please bin-NMU mn-fit on the three 64-bit architectures?
Unfortunately, code of its build-dependencies in the cernlib and paw
source packages is very old and not 64-bit clean; mn-fit must be linked
against them statically on 64-bit arches in order to work.  (The static
linking is taken care of automatically by debian/rules and is already
known to work.)

I recently uploaded a new version of cernlib (2005.dfsg-5) with some
minor 64-bit-related fixes.  It would be nice to get mn-fit 5.13-4
rebuilt against that version on 64-bit arches, ASAP, so the bin-NMU'ed
version can incorporate those fixes and go into etch.  mn-fit is bin-NMU
safe, to the best of my knowledge, so this should not cause any problems.

Thanks in advance!
best regards,
