No, they're not. :-) (or the mail would probably never have made it to
-release).

Well, we've always nacked introducing new binary packages in the past.
You mention that it was in squeeze, but I can't see the packages in the
main archive (only for jessie / sid).

slbackup (0.0.12-4) experimental; urgency=low

* Change in conffile management:
+ Drop CRON job /etc/cron.daily/slbackup. Re-enable configuration
of slbackup via debconf templates (closes: #662914).
+ Remove conffile /etc/cron.daily/slbackup via dpkg−maintscript−helper.
Didn't the above change already get NACKed at least once?
