Holger did that (thanks!) before I could see this bug, so there was no need for me to react. >>> if you think that #857562 and #852282 are serious bugs, you need to convince >>> the maintainer that this is the case.

Please don't. I think you are overreacting. Upgrading to a new upstream version may not be suitable for stretch at this stage (I'd need to look at the actual changes there), and you never replied to my questions in #852282, so I couldn't try to reproduce, fix or forward that bug. Also if you can identify which upstream commit fixes #857562 that would help. If the new version is not fine, we can still do targeted fixes. I'll look at the new version this week anyway. Cheers, Emilio
