Re: luasseq FTBFS fix
Hi Rupert,
I'll keep the list in CC - we are a team and will do open discussion,
right. ;-)

Fine. Since I have no idea about lua at all this was quite needed.

I personally more or less ignore mentors.debian.net. I'd like to
sponsor via Sponsoring of Blends:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianPureBlends/SoB
and I just injected a row for luasseq for your personal comfort. Feel
free to use this page in future cases. I also made sure that all
preconditions are fullfilled. ;-)

There is no need to worry when using the SoB bypass ...

Well, there were some issues lintian would have told you. Most
importantly you need to use the same ID in d/control and d/changelog -
otherwise it is considered as NMU. Please make sure you get this
correctly next time. You also forgot to close the bug in d/changelog.
I fixed this quickly and uploaded.

You are welcome
Andreas.
