Excellent! I have raised a new MR !9 that is specifically the commits I propose we upload to experimental first: 1. Apply the Ubuntu patch commit untouched. 2. Add DEP-3 metadata suitable for its new state in Debian. 3. Add the autopkgtest that should help the package through the freeze. 4. A changelog suitable for this proposed upload. Then I will rebase the general packet refresh MR !8 at a suitable future time. Andrew
