Nothing till now, bug is the one from above: 366234 and 364530

Yup. And 0.99.3-3 is uploaded, or???

Yup.

Stable has: 0.92-7
and testing 0.99.3-2 so we are changing nothing for testing as -3 cannot
enter testing as long as x11r7 has not entered. So we are on the sure
side if we only remove the X11R7/ scale file and upload soon, at least
before -3 enteres testing.
