(Disclaimer: I'm not part of the release team.)

I've personally given up trying to use apt-cacher-ng 0.7.6-1 due to
these two bugs (I'm now using the sid version / an indicator their
severity should be bumped to RC?), so I find this unblock request
compelling, but I'm not sure anyone will be happy to review 50 files
changed, 991 insertions(+), 673 deletions(-).

Eduard, given the apparent brokenness of the version currently in
testing, the size of the delta, and the fact we've been frozen for
months, have you considered preparing a minimal fix meant to fix these
bugs for Wheezy? Another option would be to ask for removal from
testing, and maintaining this package in backports during the
Wheezy lifetime.

Thank you for your work on apt-cacher-ng!

Cheers,
