Hi guys.
You were quick :)
First of all - huge thanks for doing that!
Next - re: no acks on previous NMUs - there are two possibilities - could
be that I was not asked explicitly to ack (like this time) and assumed it
is not needed or I was super busy or ack happened to be off thread. Or some
combination of the above.
In any case, I am always happy to see that someone comes to rescue of the
poor package.
If you want me to comment on the future plans - I'll happily do that even
though I'll probably not have enough capacity to do anything more serious
than that.
Thanks again!
Alexey

This bug seems RC to me, as: 1. it's a regression from Wheezy; 2. most
popular XMPP servers offer TLS these days, so it seems to be that this
bug breaks break the most common use-case of this library; and also 3.
python-xmpp has quite a few reverse-deps that might be affected (I
didn't check, though).
=> bumping severity. Alexey, what do you think?
(Now, I don't see any reply from Alexey to the open bugs on this
package, some of them dating back to 2010. Last upload by Alexey was
in 2008, and there have been 2 NMUs since then, none of them
acknowledged => I won't hold my breath too long.)

I'll try to come up with a minimal patch that satisfies the freeze
policy (introducing the quilt machinery is definitely not an option at
this stage of the freeze). And then I'll prepare a NMU.

Indeed, it would be good if something could be done about it during
the Stretch cycle. python-xmpp has quite a few reverse-dependencies,
so perhaps a couple of their upstream or Debian maintainers will want
to adopt xmpppy upstream. Let's say it's off-topic here, though: the
discussion that was started on #592010 feels like a better place to
discuss future plans.
Cheers!
