 Does this mean you confirm why I asked for further explanations? ;)

 Please keep in mind that I'm not following any arm related lists nor am
I part of the debian admin team so I hope you don't mind the question
about how far this integration is being discussed with the appropriate
people who are able to actually do the relevant changes.

 As you mentioned yourself that Hector's wording wasn't accurate and his
patch mentioned you as port maintainer (should you be added to
/intro/organization with that then, too?) it would be nice if you can go
over the patch again and clear up things a bit.
