Hi,

I am unsure if it was a mistake by me to not submit the request for your
opinion below as a bug, i.e. that the message was lost in your e-mail
filters. Therefor I now file the request as a bug in the BTS.

Apologies if my previous e-mail to debian-release@l.d.o was still in
your queue and this is a duplicate.
