I am asking for permission to continue my old-transition NMU work as
part of my QA and MIA tracking effort.

I still plan to deal with transitions listed at:
http://wiki.debian.org/AmayaRodrigo

Namely:

1) Link in /usr/doc Transition:

 Master bug #322762 still blocked by:
   - #351740: libcorelinux
   - #378647: netcdf-bin
   - #378648: sendfile

2) Cdebconf Transition:

Therefore, I am asking for permission to deal with this is a case by
case basis, or to completely postpone this until etch is released.

I know these bugs are not RC and I could help somewhere else towards the
release, but tracking these bugs allows me to do a lot of MIA work,
which sometimes brings maintainers back. 

It all can, of course wait for Etch to be released. In that case I will
just send patches and then start prodding after we all have a release
outdoors bonfire, and the 0-day NMU season is closed, which is not fair
;)

Let me know how the RM Team feels about my crazy transition fixation.

Thanks.
