You stretched us already quite a bit with -2. What we were missing is an explanation from you of all the changes in the release in an effort to convince us that the upstream release was a targeted fix. Graham spend quite some time to convince himself that this is a bug fix release (apparently he wanted to help you). I rather want the maintainer to do that work as it's really not sustainable to do this as Release Team for the whole Debian archive (we get lots of requests). Please read the FAQ [1]. Please, make a good judgement call and consider that we can only spend our time once. unblock request that are *not* clearly in line with our freeze policy take more time and energy from us. Having to judge corner cases is mentally straining. Denying an unblock request isn't nice. Follow the rules and you make our lives as Release Managers a lot easier.
