Bug#866736: RFS: budgie-desktop/10.2.9-3

["foss.freedom" <foss.freedom@gmail.com>]

tags 866736 - moreinfo

Hi Gianfranco,

okey dokey,

  first time trying to fix something in stable :)  sounds like a bit
different from launchpads SRU process.

I've uploaded a new version with a target of unstable.

Sorry - I didnt really understand about filing a bug against
release.debian.org targeting "p-u" - I had a look here but didnt see
an example https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting

So I use two line fields "package: budgie-desktop" and "version:
10.2.9-2" in the submit@bugs.debian.org email

what is the fields for filing against release.debian.org and a target of "p-u" ?

thanks

David
