That's fine. We just want to make available on lenny to move forward
again on sid.

Yes, I agree on that. We can use deity for this kind of coordination
too.
Personally I think that we (you, mvo and me) need to coordianate with
each other when doing uploads since we all are affected by them. This
way we avoid this mistake to happen in future.
Even if we forget to coordinate those things on ml, would be nice to
us send a notice for all involved people before uploading so we avoid
those mistakes, indeed.
Next APT upload will fix a lot of bugs and I think it's going to merge
some new features that were available at Ubuntu reduzing our diversion
a lot. I've also commited a bunch of bugfixes that were available on
BTS for a while. I'm looking forward to see it in :-)
Daniel,
I'd like to ask you, to in cuple of days, to ask on debian-release for
a urgency bump to medium for aptitude and cwidget so we reduce the
need time by half.
Cheers,
