Have a look at [0].
We are in the hard freeze part. If your package has passing non-trivial
autopkgtest, it'll migrate from unstable to bullseye after 20 days
without an unblock request. It is expected that your changes are non big
and non-disruptive.
BUT, as the full freeze will probably start before the 20 days limit is
reached, I can't say how your package migration will be handled. I guess
it will be blocked. I would therefore recommend you confirm with a release
team member what to do, but I guess an unblock bug with the debdiff opened
right now could be a good idea and would probably allow your changes to be
part of bullseye if the release-team see it fit. :)
1. Uploading to unstable for now is not a bad idea if the upload is
what you expect to see in testing
2. The urgency field is ignored during the currents and future parts
of the freeze.
Cheers!
