I see there is a fix in the bug report now. Do you want to
create a -6 package, or do you want me to try -5.3 NMU?
Right now, I don't care. I personally feel that the manual build should
have been sufficient to get -5.2 into testing; I don't think packages
should have to cater to whatever whims an autobuilder maintainer has in
configuring the autobuilder, especially if that autobuilder maintainer
doesn't put any effort into diagnosing the problem. I'd say let -5.2
into testing and after that upload -6 incorporating some minor changes
like the test suite failure and documentation fixes. I think it's silly
to upload -6 before -5.2 is in testing and potentially have it stalled
for a long period of time waiting (again) on (imo) stupid buildd
problems rather than actually being testing in testing. But I really
don't have any desire to argue with release maintainer whims over the
issue, so better luck to you; if you need to do -5.3 to jump through
some arbitrary hoop, you may do so with my blessing.
