I believe I have justification for this.

Well, I can revert it, but truth is that this package is maintained by Gerrit Pape, who is not active for some years. I took over some of his packages, but I am not interested in `cvm'. I just need to transit bglibs, since latest version of `bcron', in which I am interested, requires latest bglibs. Probably this upload should be QA upload, not NMU for lack of actual maintainer. It is any way to ask QA team to make this upload on their behalf? Sure, I can adopt, upload and fill RFA at same time, but it feels wrong. -- X-Web-Site: https://sinsekvu.github.io | Note that I process my email in batch, Accept-Languages: eo,ru,en | at most once every 24 hours.
