Right, so it seems that I was a bit impatient filing this bug, right
after I got the "processing" e-mail from the archive for libarchive-3.7.2-2
in unstable, but before I got the "accepted" one... and before I had
noticed the d-d-a e-mail about the paused archive processing.

So yeah, this is still a pre-upload approval request, but it will
apparently need to wait until 3.7.2-2 makes it into unstable :)

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the bother!

G'luck,
Peter
