Please unblock package chocolate-doom
The version in sid makes a very small package metadata change to improve the
experience of Debian users: the "zenity" package was suggested, and is now
recommended. We made some late adjustments to the chocolate-doom package to
work around an infrastructure bug[1] (heads-up to release[2]) which meant
this change is more important since the package include several binaries and
most users will not be able to run them all: with zenity installed, those
binaries will at least pop up a message explaining the situation.
I got my timings wrong when uploading this package and didn't expect to need to
request an unblock (I forgot that priority medium packages took 10 days in the
pre-freeze). Therefore some small unrelated source change is in the debdiff,
this is effectively a no-op.
Thanks
