Sorry to hear that, and glad you're on the mend.

I see that this has since been uploaded. As it is a new upstream
version I'd prefer to let it age in unstable for a while longer first;
please ping us again in another week or so.

I have to admit that I'd have preferred that this not include a
packaging format change.
However, the changes are small and look sane; unblocked.

This doesn't appear to have even made it to NEW yet? On that basis I'm
afraid we'd be unlikely to grant a freeze exception for it.

Again, the packaging format change here makes the diff quite a bit
harder to follow.
The changes generally look ok, but I'd prefer that this also got some
more time in unstable. Please ping us again in another week or so.
