What about uploading a version of the package with my patch referenced
above? I agree that it is not 100% tested, but the patch has the virtue to
make pymtp work with libmtp8, at least in a simple test case. If things go
weird, for example if my patch introduces other serious bugs, then we remove
pymtp from testing.
What do you think? Ig the Release Team gives me the approval and Thomas
Perl does not object, I would NMU pytmp, just to unblock the libmtp
transition.
