Bug#132980: Bug#133032: uninstallable package == grave bug
Steve,
Thanks for the NMU... Yes, I do intend to pick it up still, and I'll be
retitling the bug in the next couple of days when I know I'm good n'
ready... I need to talk to Petr about some things (like upstream
communication, package quirks, etc), and start on the NM process, blah
blah blah.
Reassigning it as a QA package for now seems to be the most sane thing
to do, I just hope it won't be necessary for long. :)
... Adam
(Wandering off to start checking things off the NM checklist, and email
some annoying questions to Petr..)

The bug has not been retitled, and Adam is not a DD yet so cannot upload
on his own. The fact that this bug remained mis-marked as important
rather than grave, and had no other comments against it, suggests to me
that a solution was not being worked on.
When Adam is ready to start doing package builds, I'll gladly defer to
him. In the meantime, I'm NMUing to get this RC bug fixed.
