Thanks for the explanation. If it's such an important part though, it's
slightly surprising that there were no uploads to Debian (not even to

It's not just those three packages, fwiw. chef-expander then ends up
depending on a chain of a further six NEW packages (for a total of eight
NEW sources, most uploaded within the couple of days before the freeze).
