If it was me I'd prefer micro-releases rather than macro-releases, specially if they touch different aspects (upstream vs packaging), but in any case, it's fine for me that you choose what you're more comfortable with :) On our side, the bug should low-ish priority, unless it's annoying and prevenging ot difficulting the job of Helmut to build other rev-deps. Lastly, thanks for the feedback! -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <manuel.montez...@gmail.com>
