Please unblock package network-manager-l2tp

I'm the current upstream maintainer of Networkmanager-l2tp and the Debian
package maintainer of network-manager-l2tp. My Debian package sponsor suggests
it would probably make sense if I ask the release team for pre-approval for
buster before this new upstream release (network-manager-l2tp-1.2.12-1) is
uploaded to unstable.

I've renamed the upstream GitHub project from network-manager-l2tp to
NetworkManager-l2tp (as https://github.com/robots.txt was preventing googlebots
and others from crawling the project), and I now provide a pre-generated tar.xz
tarball (like GNOME Project VPN clients do) instead of using the GitHub
provided tar.gz tarball. Consequently the debdiff is considerably larger than
between previous releases because of generated autoreconf and intltoolize
files.

This packages is of priority optional, but this release has a number of
important bug fixes that impact other packages including:
- No longer produces confusing error message when user attempts to import an
OpenVPN .ovpn file with nm-connection-editor/nmcli. e.g.:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1545255
as this VPN client's import/export capability has been removed as there was no
need for its proprietary file format, better to just use NetworkManager VPN
profile files instead if one needs to copy config files.
- Add nm-l2tp-service- prefix to pppd ipparam argument used by a condition in
Debian's resolvconf's /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/000resolvconf script:
https://github.com/nm-l2tp/NetworkManager-l2tp/commit/479cb0da09168bde03d7f97147fa14ff591388d2
Although this bug isn't critical, it just ensures NetworkManager takes care of
/etc/resolv.conf during the VPN connection.

There were a number of other important bug fixes, but they have no impact on
other packages.

As mentioned this new upstream release (network-manager-l2tp-1.2.12-1) has not
been uploaded to unstable as my sponsor suggested seeking pre-approval for
testing first,. So I have not attached a debdiff, but I have provided the
following temporary GitHub VCS fork of unstable to make it easier to see the
changes of this proposed release in the commits:

I'm sorry, but this is not appropriate during the freeze. 1.2.12-1 will not be
accepted for buster. So I'm closing this unblock request.

If there are specific bugs (severity important or higher) you want to fix, you
can do so by uploading 1.2.10-2, with specific (targeted, small) patches on
top of 1.2.10. If you do so, you can file a new unblock request.

More info can be found in the freeze policy:

Thanks,

Ivo
