Thanks a lot for the offer, but I don't like NMUs. I would be willing to make a sponsored upload if it helps, but definitely not if you downgrade this from "serious". > The policy does not say it must autobuild _every_ time IMHO. Ok, it does not contain the words "every time", but that's the usual interpretation. The exact wording is "packages must autobuild without failure [...]". If it fails more than 50% of the time, how could we call that "without failure"? That would be a very unorthodox interpretation indeed. Thanks.
