NMU rules?



Have the NMU rules recently been changed in a way I was unaware of?  I
recently encountered a 0-day NMU of a package of mine to fix an
important bug, a normal bug, and a non-bug, without any patch posted to
the bug log.  In my judgment, it is unlikely that the release team would
welcome this upload into testing (though I don't care much either way
really).  It doesn't meet the criterea for a freeze exemption as far as
I can tell.  That means that if an RC bug does appear, it will be extra
hassle for me to make the right upload to fix it.

But the NMU rules change with some regularity, and there isn't a single
canonical place with the current rules at any point in time.  What's the
current deal?
