That's not the documented procedure. Argh. I was pointed to <[🔎] DF94DFAB-7643-402D-BB01-AEF805A3AED2@debian.org> [1] by dato, so yeah, it seems I fucked up. Sorry. My initial mail and last answer were based only on the bug log, which showed no indication of fix, just fairly weird discussions and a "will fix soon". And to clarify the unblock procedure thing: I thought the quoted sentence to mean "wait until the package migrates, then ask for an unblock", which is obviously an insane idea. The right procedure is, of course, to upload a fixed package and ask for a freeze exception directly afterwards, or in cases of doubt, wait until someone else verified that the fix works as expected. Marc Footnotes: [1] The unblock request for qmail-src, in case people are to lazy to check -- BOFH #372: Forced to support NT servers; sysadmins quit.
